Worklist Update

The Accounting Date has been added to the worklist for vouchers and requisitions. This will allow departments and final approvers to distinguish between old and new year documents at the end of the fiscal year.

The Accounting Date determines which accounting period and fiscal year the voucher expense and requisition pre-encumbrance will appear. If the accounting period is closed, you need to change the Accounting Date on the document and re-budget check. There are special instructions for changing the Accounting Date from one fiscal year to another, which are distributed at year-end.

Below is an example of the Payable (voucher) worklist with the new Accounting Date column.



You can customize your worklist by clicking on the Customize link (just above the Accounting Date). You can hide columns and change the sort order of your worklist, if you like.

If you have any questions, please contact Mike Glisson at mtglisson@central.uh.edu or
