Last day for Bankcard Reallocation for feeds through June 30, 2023. Every effort should be made to reallocate activity through the end of June prior to the last week of June. The last day for reallocation should be reserved for activity posted in the prior week.

There is typically a 2-3-day lag between when a cardholder uses his/her Bankcard and when the transaction is included on the bank feed. Therefore, if the FY23 Bankcard purchase is not included on the July 1, 2023 bank feed, it will become an FY24 expense.

PO Rollover

All open Purchase Order balances in PeopleSoft on June 30th will be rolled over to FY24. In order for outstanding commitments on FY23 POs to roll into FY24, the FY23 POs must be in an Approved or Dispatched status with a Valid Budget Check. There must be a valid budget row in the appropriate departmental FY24 budget to accommodate the rolled balance on the FY23 PO, or the PO will fail budget checking in FY24. UPST staff will work with departments to ensure that all qualified purchase orders roll into FY24. Asset Receiving on FY23 PO’s must be vouchered by June 30th, therefore, the invoice and packing slip must be submitted to the Controller’s Office by June 16th. To be considered Received, an item must be inspected and tagged.
