How do I change my Ship To/Deliver To address on a requisition?

All users should be able to change their “Ship To / Deliver To” addresses on a requisition. The “Deliver To” address is sent to the supplier and should be the primary address users confirm is correct to ensure delivery of their items. The “Deliver To” address has more details to support delivery (room/office numbers/floor number).

Please take the time to find the correct “Deliver To” address and use that.  Change “Deliver To” on the Create Requisition page (Edit Details button) or on the requisition line item itself.

All users are assigned a default address/location in their profile which is the default “Ship To” address when a user places a requisition. If you need to change the “Ship To” address in your profile permanently or it is not correct, submit a ServiceNow case using the “I have a general HR question” form to modify that.  Based on recent configuration changes, the “Ship To” field does not impact what is sent to the suppliers.

How can I find a supplier invoice in Workday?

To find any supplier invoice in Workday, use the “Find Supplier Invoices” report. Enter the Company (or leave blank for all).

When completing the request, include what you’re buying, an estimated dollar amount, whether it’s a one-time or recurring need, and any additional information.
