A downloadable Year-end Checklist for Finance and Supply Chain activities is available under the "I want to..." heading found on the Business and Finance website's Controller page. The checklist includes important dates and action items for FY24 year-end.  

As a best practice, when using the Journal EIB process for multiple units on the same EIB, please create at least one journal for each college/unit with a separate header row and link the header key to all the lines. This practice avoids creation of large campus-wide approvals on the same entry which remain stuck in workflow due to send-backs. This allows the unit to approve only their entry.

Please do not begin entering FY25 blanket purchase orders until Monday, April 15. More information and detailed instructions on creating FY25 blanket purchase orders will be posted in a future NewsLink article.
