Importance of Preparation
- Some accounts/funds expire at end of fiscal year; work with your fiscal officers to make sure you are aware of the types of accounts you have.
- Some accounts/funds may require usage and posting by fiscal year end.
- Transactions require approvals before posting to General Ledger; allow enough time for approvals to take place.
-
Before submitting your Requisition or Purchase Agreement document in the Kuali Financial System (KFS), make sure that any required supporting documentation is added in the Notes and Attachments tab. Adding all supporting documentation at the time the document is created expedites the approval and buyer assignment process, and the creation of the Purchase Order or Purchase Agreement to the outside supplier.

Managing Open Orders and Unreconciled Expenses
There are several FIS Decision Support reports that can assist with fiscal close activities:
- The Open Purchasing Orders (364) query should be regularly reviewed; better yet, schedule it to email regular updates directly to you! As needed, contact suppliers to see if and when open orders will be fulfilled. If an order will not be fulfilled, close/void the KFS Purchase Order, or close/void the AggieBuy order.
- The Unreconciled Card Expenses (418) report displays outstanding Procurement Card and Travel Card expenses, while the Unreconciled Direct Billing Expenses (421) can alert you to any outstanding direct billed expenses in AggieExpense. Run these queries to ensure that your card and other travel and entertainment expenses post in the appropriate fiscal year.
Purchasing Reminders for Fiscal Close
Supplier Records
Make sure supplier information is current for any upcoming suppliers you plan to use in KFS; update supplier records as needed, and allow time for review and approval of updates. For the protection of the supplier, an updated W9 with the new address and/or new name is required for all individual vendor record updates. The W9 can be uploaded at any time using the existing vendor #.
AggieBuy
Allow time for departmental approval and order fulfillment by supplier. Some orders may take longer than others to fulfill, such as customized computer, oligos, and furniture orders.
Kuali Financial System (KFS)
For KFS Purchase Agreement documents and for KFS Requisition documents above the Automatic Purchase Order (APO) limit and for restricted commodity purchases, allow additional time for Procurement & Contracting Services to review, negotiate, and create KFS Purchase Orders.
Procurement Card
Allow enough time for the transactions to be paid by the bank and to appear on General Ledger reports in FIS Decision Support (DS). Complete all AggieExpense reconciliation reports for your Procurement Card transactions prior to the end of June, so that charges post to desired account/object codes for the current Fiscal Year.
