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 the General Ledger; allow enough time for approvals to take place.
- Before submitting your Requisition in Aggie Enterprise, make sure any required supporting documentation is added in the Notes and Attachments section.

Managing Open Orders and Unreconciled Expenses
There are several Aggie Enterprise reports that can assist with fiscal close activities
- The UCD PO Aging Report. Learn how to access and run this report.
- This report should be regularly reviewed; as needed, contact suppliers to see if and when open orders will be fulfilled. If an order will not be fulfilled, request to close the associated Purchase Order.
- Multiple POs can and should be included on a single close request whenever possible. This will expedite the closure of the requested POs.
- Communication must take place with the supplier to confirm order will not be fulfilled prior to requesting order closure.
- 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.
- Learn how to access and 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 Aggie Enterprise or on the Payment Request document; update supplier records as needed, and allow time for review and approval of updates.
Aggie Enterprise Catalog Orders
For catalog orders, 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.
Aggie Enterprise Non-Catalog Orders
For Aggie Enterprise non-catalog 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 Purchase Orders.
Procurement Card
Allow enough time for the transactions to be paid by the bank and to post to the General Ledger. Complete all AggieExpense reconciliation reports for your Procurement Card transactions promptly and by the deadline listed above so the expenses will post to the desired account/object codes for the current Fiscal Year.
