Two new expense object codes have been created and are available for use in the finance systems (BCB, CONCUR, EBiz) to enhance the identification of equipment fabricated through approved Sponsored Projects at the University. If applicable, you must begin using these codes effective immediately.
As we approach year-end, campus users are reminded to plan ahead for the purchase of goods/services. Specific scenarios to consider include:
The pre-entry of FY25 requisitions can now be submitted using the Accounting Date field in BobcatBuy. To create a FY25 req, use 7/1/2024 as the Accounting Date, and the PO will be sent to suppliers on July 1.
Many PO invoices require a department approval in BCB after it is submitted by Accounts Payable. If you are a PO owner and plan to be on vacation during this critical time, please make sure that you set up a substitute invoice approver in your absence.

As you begin to make plans for FY25, you may incur expenses prior to June 30, 2024 that must be recorded in FY25. Therefore, we are going to review prepaid expenses and how you must handle accounting for these.

As we gear up for year-end close, we have updated the Finance Operating Calendar to ensure a smooth transaction into the critical closing process of the University.
