Deadline for Fiscal Year 07-08 Purchase Requisitions -- As we near the end of the end of the fiscal year on 6/30/08, it is time to begin thinking about submitting all Requisitions in EPIC for purchases needed in the 07-08 fiscal year.   The deadline for Requisitions to be received in Purchasing for this 07-08 fiscal year is 6/06/08.  Because of the Requisition routing process in EPIC, you will probably want to submit them a few days before 6/06/008 so they get to Purchasing prior to the deadline.  As in the past, this will allow the Purchasing Department time to process the order, quote the order if necessary, etc. 

Also, please keep in mind that if you have a more complex Requisition that may require special processing or approvals to comply with institutional policies, this could require even more time.  For those types of orders, please forward to Purchasing well before the 6/06/08 deadline.

Closing dates for B2B orders on FY 08 will be dependent upon the invoice generated at the time of shipment.

Procurement Card purchases will be charged to FY  08 only if your Fiscal Officer or Account Manager approves the PCDO Documents in FIS prior to June 30th

If you have questions about how a more complex transaction may be handled, do not hesitate to contact the Purchasing Department and speak to the specific commodity area that will handle that transaction. 

Thank you for your cooperation!
