To assist with the year-end procurement roll-forward process, the Controller’s Office will be analyzing and closing out old internal and external Purchase Orders (PO) which meet the following parameters: POs that are over two years old which have not been invoiced in the previous year (excluding POs for multiyear service contracts that are only billed annually, those related to construction projects beginning with "PJOSU," OAKS type POs, and those that are FD520 grant related). See full post for timing and other details.
An integration issue has been identified associated with the Supplier Discount integration where the full discount amount was not reclassed from the 17005 Discounts Earned Suspense ledger account to an expense account that earned the discount. The integration has been corrected moving forward and a clean-up of the variance for all the prior affected years will post into FY25 by the second close. This only affected supplier invoices that had freight and other charges at the header level.
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.

See the full post for more details and where to send questions.
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.
