BLUEDEVIL FINANCE FOCUS
A NOTE FROM
Rachel Rachel
I’m pleased to share the March edition of Blue Devil Finance Focus, highlighting the continued progress, collaboration, and dedication across Duke Finance. This edition includes several important operational updates across our division, including key upgrades to the SuccessFactors recruitment and onboarding system, the expansion of Corporate Payroll’s appointment based support model, and improvements to the biweekly timecard approval process designed to streamline departmental workflows.
In this issue, we also highlight promotions within Treasury as part of our ongoing organizational alignment efforts, along with messages of appreciation submitted by colleagues to recognize the hard work, teamwork, and collaboration happening across our Finance units. I’m grateful for the ways you support one another and for the commitment you demonstrate to both operational excellence and service to the Duke community.
This issue also highlights just a few of the many people and moments that enrich our Duke Finance community from new hires and role transitions to retirements, personal milestones, and recent gatherings like the Week of Cheer and our upcoming night at the Durham Bulls. These stories reflect the energy, engagement, and dedication that so many of you bring to your roles every day
Thank you for all you do to strengthen and advance Duke Finance. I hope you enjoy this edition and take a moment to celebrate the accomplishments and connections reflected throughout these pages.
WARM REGARDS,
Rachel Satterfield
VP OF FINANCE & TREASURER

SAP SALES AND USE TAX
By Jim Allen
With the expansion of DUHS activities to Iredell County through the acquisition of Lake Norman Regional Health, Duke Finance took the opportunity to initiate a redesign of the sales and use tax configuration of SAP. The project kicked off in April 2025 and went live in late November 2025 and enables the ability to
process a wide range of sales tax scenarios, improving the quality of our reporting by appropriately allocating sales tax to the appropriate jurisdiction and capturing all sales tax paid.
The project was a team effort including members from Administrative Systems Management, Supply Chain, Corporate Tax, Accounting Systems Administration, Plant Accounting, and Corporate Accounts Payable. Together, through everyone ’ s effort and commitment to the implementation the project was successfully completed. A huge thanks to all that were involved in this project.
PAYMENTWORKS VENDOR PORTAL
In May 2025, Duke Corporate Accounts Payable launched the PaymentWorks vendor registration portal to automate the vendor registration process and provide vendors the option to receive payment via ACH. The portal provides a secure method to receive, validate and store vendor banking information. Since the go live, over 10,000 vendors have been added and over 13,000 ACH payments have been initiated.
Special thanks to all the Corporate Accounts Payable team members that have made this implementation a success.
HOMEGROWN
HomeGrown is Duke's institution-wide commitment to helping people in our community get ahead – through better jobs, more opportunities for local businesses, and making it easier for families to stay in the community they call home. We’re working alongside partners across the entire community to build a better future with a total commitment of $203 million to the Durham and Triangle community over the next three years.
HomeGrown was developed with input from community organizations, employees, neighbors, and local businesses, bringing a sharper focus and transparency to work that's been happening across Duke while adding new, specific commitments with public reporting.
Four Commitments to Our Neighbors
We believe trust is built through openness. We are dedicated to setting public goals and sharing our progress. Whether we are hitting our targets or need to change our approach, we want to be an open book. Each year, we will provide updates on our progress and milestones.
Duke HomeGrown is anchored by four key pillars, each with a set of clear and measurable goals: Employ, Build, Buy, and Invest.
HERE are the goals for each pillar and more information from Duke Community Affairs.

SUMMER ACCESS CHANGES
As part of Duke’s ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and secure campus environment, DukeCard office has transitioned most campus buildings to a “controlled state” on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. During this period, access to most facilities requires the use of a Mobile or physical DukeCard.
In the event an individual is unable to access a space, please complete the following troubleshooting steps:
Confirm the individual’s Mobile DukeCard or physical DukeCard is active by submitting a support task to the DukeCard Office or calling 919-684-5800.
Confirm that the appropriate building access has been assigned If access is not assigned correctly, review the access requirements with the designated Access Coordinator or contact the DukeCard Office at dukecard@duke.edu or 919-6845800.
Verify that the card reader and/or door hardware is functioning properly. If an issue is identified, submit a support task for further review and resolution.
Legacy DukeCards with a card number of 771 or 779 are no longer active. Faculty and staff members will need to use the Mobile DukeCard or visit the DukeCard office located at the Link in Perkins library with their valid driver’s license or passport for a free replacement DukeCard.
OIE LIAISON
The Office for Institutional Equity (OIE) Liaison Program is designed to build a consistent institutional infrastructure for supporting members of the Duke community and responding to concerns of discrimination, harassment and/or related misconduct at Duke. In lieu of a separate reporting system inside of units, the OIE Liaisons serve as a central resource of information about the institutional process for responding to harassment and discrimination concerns.
This program will fulfill the desire for local reporting and problem solving, but offer the following advantages:
Consistent identification of complaints that should be elevated to OIE and/or elsewhere for an appropriate response.
Greater neutrality and distance from those who are potentially responsible for the harm. Even application of consequences for similar behavior
Reinforcement of who is required to report discrimination and harassment as stated in existing policies.
Local access to someone who understands applicable standards and OIE’s process.
TO FIND YOUR LIAISON & FOR MORE INFORMATION, CLICK HERE
KUALI BUILD - VMF PROCESS
When seeking approval to fill a vacancy within your department, the hiring manager must fill out a vacancy management form (VMF or VMAF). That digital form is found in Kuali Build, a tool designed for higher education that allows users to create online forms and automate otherwise manual processes.
To access the VMF, log in to Kuali Build with your Duke Net ID and password
On the main screen, go to the top right-hand corner and click on Search. Type in the search bar: VACANCY.
You will find the CAMC Vacancy Management Approval Form here. Click on the icon for VMAF.
Once the VMAF has gone through all approvals in the workflow, the hiring manager will need a PDF printout of the VMAF and approval process to upload in iForms for the recruiter.
Please contact your EA for this printout - Cassie Lewis, Melodie Ford, or Suzette Billings - as access is restricted on workflow printing due to confidentiality within Kuali Build.
BETTER HABITS TO LIVE BY IN SHARED SPACES
Living in a shared office space requires balancing collaboration with consideration. Adopting a few simple, actionable habits -like keeping conversations quiet, wiping down desks afteruse, and respecting communal areas (cleaning up after yourself) - ensures a peaceful, productive environment that makes everyone ’ s workday better.
For our office spaces within Erwin Square and 705 Broad Street, we will have, from time to time,a need for maintenance to the facilities or equipment within our office spaces. Pleasedo not hesitate to reach out to Cassie Lewis for Erwin Square needs, or to Melodie Ford for 705 Broad Street needs. These colleagues can fill out a property management request form for buildingrelated needs (maintenance, cleanliness, or pest control), and they can contact vendors to maintain coffee machines, water coolers, etc
As for copiers and printers within our spaces, we have contracts with Sharp Products at Duke to maintain and send supplies as needed forthese machines. You can contact Cassie and Melodie, or our local IT rep (Larry Moy - will soon be Ben Burguess) from Duke OIT for those needs, or call the number on the front of the machine directly. If you do call directly, please do let Cassie/Melodie know of this matter.
When you have a shipment come in, those cardboard boxes can pile up! At Erwin Square,kindly break down the boxes, and stack them neatly by the trashcan labeling them with a marker BASURA, so that housekeeping can take them to the cardboard dumpsters downstairs. At 705 Broad, break down the boxes, place them on the Shred-It bins on the lower level underneath the stairwell.
Lastly, with summer fast approaching, please be mindful to not leave out any open containers of food, drink or sweet treats as we will see an uptick in rodents and pests.
DEPARTMENTAL PARKING PERMITS
Reminder emails from Parking & Transportation will be going out in June or July for those departmental universal parking permit holders who will need to renew prior to August 15.
In years past, Cassie Lewis would receive an email and would verify with each departmental rep that the permits were still needed and verify the department fund code being charged for the permits That responsibility is now on the departmental rep on file with Parking & Transportation.
Please be mindful of these permits and ensure your department still needs the permits listed under your purview. Renew the permits you need, and cancel the permits you are no longer using.

Larry’s extraordinary connection to Duke spans nearly five decades.

He went on to earn his BS in Biology from Duke, followed by a graduate degree in Marine Biology from NC State.

Over the years, he contributed his talents across a wide range of departments, including Auxiliary Information Services, Student Affairs, and Alumni Affairs, before most recently supporting the Finance team over the past two years.
Throughout his time at Duke, Larry has been a dedicated colleague whose knowledge, commitment, and steady presence have made a lasting impression on those around him. His teammates will especially miss his sense of humor and the way he could always make them smile.
In retirement, Larry is looking forward to spending more time with his family, especially his two grandchildren. Still passionate about marine biology, he enjoys maintaining fish tanks at homea lifelong interest that continues to bring him joy
Congratulations, Larry, on an incredible career - we wish you all the best in your well-earned retirement!
