FP&M has transitioned to LinkUW for some of FP&M’s financial and HR services. All FP&M procurement policies and practices remain the same. However, one key benefit of the change is reducing administrative burden for FP&M staff by allowing employees to submit supplier invoice requests (direct payments) via LinkUW instead of entering them directly into Workday.
