Roll Over Purchase Orders from a Previous Fiscal Year
Summary
The Roll Over Purchase Orders process is used to change the
fiscal year attached to open purchase order line items. Open line items from the previous fiscal year are rolled over and reestablished
in the new fiscal year and the encumbrances associated with those open
purchase order line items will be moved to the new fiscal year. This allows
you to invoice purchase orders that were set up in a previous year in the current
fiscal year. For example, if a purchase order is set up in fiscal year 2014, the
encumbrance is recorded in 2014 and that PO can only be invoiced in 2014. When
you roll the purchase order into fiscal year 2015, the encumbrance will move to
the new fiscal year and you will be able to invoice the PO in fiscal year 2015
using the AP Invoices process (AP> Invoices).
The Roll Over Purchase Orders process is often done a month to six weeks into
the new fiscal year so straggling invoices can be expensed in the previous
fiscal year. You can run this process as many times are you would like to
move POs to the new fiscal year, but you cannot move POs that have been rolled
over back into the previous fiscal year. So when adding POs to the batch, make
sure you are selecting the correct POs.
The general ledger accounts attached to the purchase
order line items being rolled over must be created in the new fiscal year. The
Proof List (PO> Roll Over POs> Proof List) will display the GL accounts attached
to the purchase order line items.
During the Commit step (PO> Roll Over Purchase Orders>
Commit), you can check the Create budget adjustments toggle if you would
like to create budget adjustments for the amount of the purchase order line
items being rolled over. This will create a budget adjustment line item on the
GL accounts attached to the purchase order line items. The budget adjustments
will be made to the GL accounts in the new fiscal year, and the amount of the
adjustments will be the amounts attached to the purchase order line items being
rolled over. You can view the budget adjustments made to a GL account using the
Chart of Accounts Maintenance window (GL> Maintenance> Chart of Accounts> Budget tab).
