This is a reminder that the last day to place orders using the purchase order system is May 31, 2014, for the current fiscal year. This includes all requisitions which must be budget checked, approved and converted to purchase orders and products or services ordered. Please be sure orders are placed by May 31 to ensure items are received by June 30, 2014.
Fiscal year 2015 purchase orders will need to wait until June 15, when we expect the new chart of accounts to be available for use in the purchase order system. Please work directly with Kathi Becker before creating any FY15 purchase orders to ensure that this transition to the new system goes smoothly.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Kathi by email (kbecker@georgefox.edu) or at ext. 2166.
