Manage Unprocessed Costs Reports
KB06004291 •93 Views • Updated 4-Feb-2025
Purpose
This guide is meant to show award and project administrator employees how to run a report that will show what Unprocessed Costs exist and the reason that the costs are unprocessed.
- Unprocessed Costs are expenses that cannot be charged to the Sponsor. This can be due to an entry error, but more often is due to the cost occurring outside the Period of Performance (i.e. Award date, Project date, etc.).
Manage Unprocessed Reports
- Select the Taskbar on the right side.
- Select Manage Unprocessed Costs.
- Select Advanced (Button will change to Basic once selected)
- For Project Number, select Starts with in the first field and then enter USP.
- Note: You can enter an entire Project Number if you prefer. Entering just USP will show you all transactions that you are provisioned to see that have Unprocessed Costs due to entry errors.
- For Transaction Source, leave the first field as Equals and select Workday from the dropdown menu.
- Select Search.
- Select the X in the Errors Exist column to reveal information about the error that is preventing the Cost from processing.
- Optional: Select View and Columns to add additional columns to the report.
- Now that you have identified Unprocessed Costs and the errors that have caused them to be Unprocessed, follow the steps in the Initiating a Payroll Expense Cost Correction in Workday guide for labor-related errors.
- Note: If the error is not labor-related, please reach out to your URA Post Award RA for additional support.
