The ability to see reports will be based on security roles in Workday. There are Workday Standard Reports, which come “out-of-the-box” with Workday. The “Find Purchase Order” Report allows a user to find purchase orders by company, supplier, date, status, requestor, worktags and other fields. The report also shows the business documents associated with the purchase order; so if a receipt is approved, that will show on the report. When the business document field is blank, that means there are no other associated business documents with that purchase order (i.e., receipt, invoice, etc.), indicating that a receipt is still pending.

There is also the “Purchase Order Lines Not Received” Report; however, this report has less searchable fields. Once the report is run, you could filter by specific purchase order numbers to determine if your purchase orders are still pending receipt. Users can also run the “My Requisition” report to view requisitions, the subsequent purchase order that was created and the status of related business documents. Suppliers may be also be able to acknowledge orders or send advanced ship to notices, which can assist with the status of orders.
