Summer is a great time to take vacation and enjoy some downtime. Unfortunately, summertime also coincides with the University fiscal yearend close process. Therefore, we wanted to share information about how to keep transactions in the systems flowing during yearend while you enjoy that much needed time away!
All FY24 PCard Transactions (transactions on or prior to 06/30) must be substantiated and submitted for approval in Concur by Friday, July 19th.
Sponsored awards, Internal awards and Cost Share awards are maintained in the Grants Accounting module and are not permitted to have overspent balances. It is also critical to close accounts timely to prevent over expenditure and ensure timely financial reporting to external parties.
During the period of time when both FY24 and FY25 are open, the balances appearing as FY25 results are inaccurate. This is because FY24 yearend must be complete and closed, before the roll forward of the FY24 ending balances can occur and load as the FY25 beginning balances for accounts.
As you work to complete your year-end closing tasks, please be aware that multiple periods will be open in JET from the end of June to the end of July.

Two new expense object codes have been created and are available for use in the finance systems (BCB, CONCUR, EBiz) to enhance the identification of equipment fabricated through approved Sponsored Projects at the University. If applicable, you must begin using these codes effective immediately.
As we approach year-end, campus users are reminded to plan ahead for the purchase of goods/services. Specific scenarios to consider include:
The pre-entry of FY25 requisitionscan now be submitted using the Accounting Date field in BobcatBuy. To create a FY25 req, use 7/1/2024 as the Accounting Date, and the PO will be sent to suppliers on July 1.
