The ISU Find Miscellaneous Payment Requests Report

The payments created through "Create Miscellaneous Payment" in Workday will result in a transaction that will post in "ISU Transaction Detail". However, there may be times when you wish to review the status of an in-progress request, or to review MPR information separately from other transactions.  For these functions, treasurers can use "ISU Find Miscellaneous Payment Request" in Workday.

To begin, type ISU Find Miscellaneous Payment Requests in Workday to search for and then select the report:

The column Payment Status will tell you whether or not a check has been written. In the example above, the first line shows that while the request has been fully approved (“Approved” in the Document Status column, the check is not yet written (“Unpaid” in the Payment Status column).

If a check has been written (“Paid” Status), and you need more information about the check, first select the link, which is also the Miscellaneous Payment Request identifying number, in the Miscellaneous Payment Request column to view more information. 

This takes you to more information about the payment request. You will be able to see the attachments, activity (check information) and Business Process (helpful to see where the request is if it is still in progress) via the tabs in the center of the screen.

In the Reconciliation Status column under the Activity tab, “Unreconciled” tells you the check has not yet been cashed by the payee. If cashed, the status would show as “Reconciled.” Occasionally you may be asked to provide the check number. That is listed in the Transaction Reference column.
