August 28
Departments can begin creating and submitting FY08 vouchers (Accounting Date and Scheduled Due Date equal to 09-01-07) to Accounts Payable. However, they cannot create FY08 vouchers for prior-year PO’s (BP2007 or earlier) until September 1, after the PO Carryforward process is completed.

August 31
Noon deadline for submitting FY07 UH cash receipt journals to Student Financial Services and FY07 UHSA cash receipt journals to Treasury. All cash receipt journals received after 12 noon will post to FY08.

Finance completes PO Carryforward process to create an encumbrance and prior-year budget (BP2007 or earlier) in FY08 on non-project cost centers for prior-year PO’s. Departments will not be able to create vouchers on August 31 so that it does not interfere with the PO Carryforward process.
