Configure & Prototype: The project team is configuring the system according to what our stakeholders have specified
in terms of functionality and capability. 
They're converting current Oracle data into the new chart design and loading that data into the system
so that later this autumn, we’ll get to see UVA data with the UVA chart inside
Workday Financials  After all this time, we’ll finally have the first
tenant build, and people will get to see how processes work within the system. It’s important
to realize that this won’t be every bit of UVA data, here in the first tenant –
it will be a healthy cross-section that will accurately represent what most
people will experience in the system.  Read more from James Gorman in CommunityHub.

The Adaptive Team is hard at
work with budget colleagues in UVAFinance and across Grounds to start the FY22 budget
process.  They’re using all the things
they learned in the FY21 revised budget process to make this a good experience
for all involved.  Read this update from Elissa Morton in CommunityHub.

The Reporting
and Analytics Team are continuing discussion with other functional leads within
the project tto review and analyze reporting user stories for supplier accounts,
internal service providers, accounts payable, procurement, purchasing, and
expense.

The Technical Team has completed data scope analysis for suppliers and
sub-recipients conversions and has begun supplier extracts modifications to support
subrecipients conversion.

The Spend Focus Group has kicked off and are working on topics such as purchase order receiving, requisitioning, supplier management, invoice routing and approval, and so much more. We’ll link to a blog piece in the show notes where you can read more about their work and learn who from your area is participating in the group.

FDM:  Nicole Ferretti shared some more context
around converting the current chart of accounts to the FDM at a recent Fiscal
Administrator’s meeting.  She remarked on
how, since our current chart is very flexible, we can’t just convert the fields
into the FDM on a one to one basis.  The team is looking at each of our PTAEO strings and determining how they fit in the new
FDM.  If you’d like to hear more about this, check out Ferretti's presentation at the September 16 Fiscal Administrator meeting found here.
