  • FY25 Year-end Timelines – Important Information

    Juliette Lonsert | May 16, 2025
    Please continue to refer to the Unit Year-end Checklist, found on the Business and Finance website's Controller page, for important year-end dates, timeline information and tasks that need to be performed. Procurement and expenses close will occur at Noon on Monday, June 30. Similar to last year, to avoid potential accounting issues, we are asking that no transaction approvals, changes, or cancellations occur after that time until the roll forward is complete the following day. This includes Requisitions, POs, Change Orders, Supplier Invoices (for both Internal and External Suppliers), Miscellaneous Payments and Expense Reports. It's highly recommended to have FY25 procurement and expense transactions fully approved by the end of the day on Friday, June 27, 2025.

    Juliette Lonsert | May 16, 2025
    As a part of fiscal year-end activities, subaward supplier contract encumbrances will be closed out for FY25 and re-opened in FY26. An encumbrance will not roll-forward into FY26 if a subaward supplier contract has an "Amendment in Process" status. This issue was confirmed in testing. As a result, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is providing the guidance shared in the full post for subaward supplier contract amendments.

  • New Date Validation for Payroll Accounting Adjustments  

    Juliette Lonsert | May 16, 2025
    On Tuesday, July 22, the new date validation for payroll accounting adjustments (PAA) will be updated for the new fiscal year. These restrictions are in place due to how Workday recalculates fringe when PAAs cross fiscal years. Workday recalculates fringe on the entire paycheck, not only the earnings on the PAA. See the full post for more details.
