IssuesFYE Recap – POFYE Recap – PO
During the Close process we discovered 21different issues that impacted the closing of POs
Double-encumbering of POs Some of the issues dealt with overriding match exceptions or
receiving, closing requisitions prior to closing POs, andclosing POs that had vouchers that were not yet paid
10
As we move forwardFYE Recap – POFYE Recap – PO
Agencies should perform a Monthly close for POs Prepare a Change Order before last payment is made to correctly reflect what is expended against the PO Don’t force-close a PO, research and fix problems before closing Work with your AP Units to ensure there are no unpaid vouchers related to a PO prior to closing
