This means all monies to be spent from the current year budgets (including grants, fees, etc.) must be ENCUMBERED and submitted to workflow on or before 11:59pm on April 1, 2019. Please note the following:

  1. All requisitions to cover expenses that will occur during the months of April and May must be entered as a ???B??? type (Blanket) requisitions. You are to estimate what will be spent for those months, and enter a requisition for each vendor from which you anticipate making a purchase.
    screen of purchasing system exampleYou must do this not only for supplies, but also for any services, equipment or furniture purchases. Remember, the goods or services that you purchase must match the purpose of the budget line. You have to buy supplies with a supplies object code (56100). You cannot buy equipment (57300) or furniture (57330) with a supplies (56100) object code.
  2. All monies encumbered under PO???s that are not PAID on or before May 31, 2019 will be canceled, and monies will return to the District to use for districtwide projects.a. ???Paid??? means that a check has been printed and mailed by Accounts Payable, receiving a PO is not sufficient.
