In Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, Workday Finance became the primary system of record for financial data at the UW and data in the existing financial source systems (primarily the Financial Accounting System (FAS), but others as well) became static. Additionally, the systems that leveraged this now-static data were marked for retirement. While many of these systems were retired when Workday went live, some were retained temporarily in read-only mode for legacy reporting purposes, easing the transition to Workday Finance. A project is now underway to retire these remaining systems and archive the data within them. The purpose of this page is to keep users updated on the status of these legacy systems and offer alternative ways to access legacy financial data once it is archived. This page will be updated as the project evolves, and more information becomes available.
To retire a system, data must be archived and retained in a manner that complies with the University's General Retention Schedule. For most archived data within the scope of this project, alternative reports will be provided to ensure users continue to have access to the data; however, some archived data will only be available to auditors upon request. This section provides a crosswalk, by system, of reports that will be available once each system retires.
Note: There are many factors to consider when retiring a system; therefore, not all systems will be retired at the same time. The systems below are organized by retirement date.
