May Accounting Period Close

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

This means the General Ledger (GL) system will not accept any more entries with a May journal date.  May transactions can still be entered into the GL system, but the journal date must be 6/1/24 or later. The current period open is June 2024.
