- Adherence to the above schedule will allow:
1) requisitions to be processed promptly
2) sufficient lead time to receive the goods and services before the fiscal year ends
3) payment to be remitted from FY22 funds - Any requisition received after the deadlines listed above and approved by any cost center manager indicates their approval to charge the purchase(s) to the FY23 budget.
- Purchase orders (P.O.s) from FY22 should be closed when the invoices have been paid, or the books are closed.
