REVIEW OF TRANSACTIONS CHARGED AGAINST YOUR BUDGET SHOULD BE DONE ROUTINELY AND DISCREPANCIES REPORTED IMMEDIATELY.
- With regard to capital purchases, in order to be charged to fiscal year 2013, items must be received and invoiced by 31 May 2013. Otherwise these expenditures will be charged to FY 2014.
- Controller's Office: Tina Andrien (94249), Tiffany Tulaney (93043), RaMonda Crosby (94242), Joanne Dragone (96848).
- IMPORTANT: All Requisitions should now be processed using Mercury Commerce. In order to properly charge the FY2014 Budget for orders placed during the Month of May, 2013, you will need to change the Fiscal Year Date in Mercury Commerce to June 1, 2013. For all new year orders, please type the following wording in the External Notes portion of the Requisition "FY2014 Order, these orders must be delivered and invoiced after June 1, 2013". Additional instructions regarding this can be found on our web site at Year End requisition processing.
- If for any reason Office Basics is not able to ship your item(s) by 31 May, the charge will be incurred in June, not May.
- Items ordered in May but not shipped until June will usually be charged to your credit card when the item is actually shipped. These will not be charged to the 2013 fiscal year. Also, because some vendors do not put through charges on a daily basis, some May sales may not be processed until June. Neither the bank nor the University has any control over the vendors' schedule. Please remember that all procurement card charges are available for viewing on the Works web site within a day after they are processed by the vendor. Any charges processed by May 31, 2013 will be charged to the 2013 fiscal year budget.
- Open Commitments - It is critical to validate all existing commitments and notify Lisa Mazzoni in Procurement if commitments should be deleted for any reason shown below:
- order was received in full or completely cancelled
- part of the order was filled; the remainder was cancelled
- invoice was processed for payment by department using a Request for Payment
- To facilitate year-end processing, the Procurement Department would like to receive as many old-year invoices as possible by this cut-off date. Please be aware, however, that invoices that relate to old-year expenses (invoice dated May or work performed/goods received by 31 May) that are received after the cut-off will still be charged to the old year. This practice is in keeping with generally accepted accounting principles and is subject to the review of our outside auditors.
- Expense reports should be taken to the Bursar's Office (May 24 deadline) under any of the following circumstances:
- If you received an advance and your actual expenses are less than the advance, you should submit your expense report with cash or check for the amount owed the University. -or-
