Written by Blain Woods.

The P&BS Year End Planning Guide gives departmental business officers direct access to guidelines and instructions designed to empower them to make informed and timely year-end fiscal decisions. 

In this guide, you will find an explanation of the business practices for each purchasing and payment area. Included are the compliance reasons each practice is important and a list of the financial system queries that will result in reports to help identify items for review. There are also instructions on how to run each query and how to interpret the report data leading to recommended actions when needed. This document addresses MarketPlace and non-MarketPlace purchase orders and receivers and Card Services payments such as PCard, Fleet Card and Virtual Payables. 

The P&BS Year End Planning Guide is a living document and will be updated with current year-end deadlines every year.
