What's Changing with Workday: Expenses and Credit Cards

posted October 24, 2025

Many campus processes will move into Workday, and others will look a little different depending on your role on campus. We're here to walk you through each one. Next up: credit cards and expenses.

What is Changing

  • Expense Management & Credit Cards
    • Expense reporting and credit card management will be handled entirely in Workday. This includes mobile access for submitting expenses on the go. Self-service and delegation options reduce administrative steps and make tracking expenses easier than ever.
  • Approvals Based on Cost Centers
    • Approvals in Workday are linked to cost centers using clear, natural language. This makes it easier to route approvals correctly and understand who is responsible for reviewing requests — no more relying on numerical codes or manual tracking.
  • Payment Requests
    • Submitting and approving payment requests will move fully into Workday. All steps — from request to routing to approval — happen in one system, eliminating paper forms and improving efficiency.
  • Insight Into Financial Activity
    • Workday gives employees real-time visibility into financial requests and approvals, increasing transparency and confidence in the process. You’ll be able to see where a request is in the workflow and quickly identify any next steps.
