PO Encumbrance Management Workshop

FinanceConnect will host the PO Encumbrance Management Workshop on Friday, March 22 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

We’ll begin the session with an overview of the lifecycle of a Purchase Order (PO) which includes a review of tools available in CFS and the Finance Data Warehouse that aid in managing PO encumbrances. After the overview, we’ll open the session to Q&A and hands-on review of POs. Bring some PO numbers for us to review!

No reservation is needed, just login and join us with your questions.

February Accounting Period Close

For employees who track or manage department budgets, please note that the month of February 2024 is now closed in CFS.

This means the General Ledger (GL) system will not accept any more entries with a February journal date. February transactions can still be entered into the GL system, but the journal date must be 3/1/24 or later. The current period open is March 2024.
