Year-End Purchasing Memo for
FY 2021-22
|
|
The Year-End Purchasing Memo for FY 2021-22 has been published and is available on the UFS website. The memo contains deadlines and related information for processing of purchasing transactions throughout the remainder of the current fiscal year. A larger document, FY 21-22 Closing Schedule, is also on the UFS website and will encompass all business transaction types for the entire University.
Help documents and guides related to year-end closing are also available on the website. University employees must login using their LinkBlue ID and then navigate to the appropriate location for needed documents. A document for End of Fiscal Year Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found via the Internal Resources tile. Reports ZMM_BA_RPT (Business Analysis Report) and Z_MMEKPO (Open PO Report) are available within SAP to assist with reviewing purchase orders or open encumbrances. Help guides for these are available through the Learning and Training Resources tile, SRM Quick Reference Cards link.
For goods and services physically received during the current fiscal year, the most important factor is that Goods Confirmations are created in a timely manner as outlined in the Year-End Memo. Otherwise, the purchase order will transfer to FY 22-23 funds. Review and closing of open/unused encumbrances is also key to year-end best practices.
If you have any general questions email UKPurchasing@uky.edu or for more specific e-procurement or Shopping Cart questions email SRMHelp@uky.edu. Departments can also request closing of PO encumbrances via either email address.
