  • If the charge has not cleared as of Period 12 and the travel began by June 30, 2007, report it as an outstanding item. Report the net amount for which you expect the charge to clear (i.e., subtract the expected credit from the expected charge).

Dating FIS Documents

When entering FIS documents you want to post in the 06-07 fiscal year use the following guidelines:

If document is entered by June 30, enter as you normally would, with system-defaulted Transaction Date. (Remember: any check processed AFTER June 30 will liquidate the invoice payable and credit cash in FY 2008.)

If document is entered between July 1 and July 20, change the Transaction Date to June 30. (Remember: FIS will default the current date as the Transaction Date.) Enter everything else normally. Banner will post the expense and automatically accrue the payable in FY 07. The check itself will be written from FY 2008 and liquidate the payable.

If you are unable to enter the invoice by July 20, submit an Accounts Payable report to Financial Services.

Travel

Travel reimbursements for travel incurred through June 30 must be included in the 06-07 accounting records. The reimbursement requests (invoices) must be completed and sent to Accounts Payable by 5:00 PM on July 7 to clear period 12. Reimbursements can also be processed for period 14 if the travel reimbursements are received by July 20 in Accounts Payable. Airfare to be included in 06-07 accounting records must be purchased through contract agencies by May 25 or on a departmental procurement card by June 22.

Contact Accounts Payable at 6-3158 with any questions.

Prepaid Expense

Expenditures must be charged to the fiscal year in which goods are received or services are performed.

Expenses that are paid prior to June 30 for the 2008 fiscal year need to be charged to a prepaid expense account code. A journal voucher needs to be processed in period 01 of the new fiscal year to remove the prepaid expense and record the expense in the proper fiscal year.

To comply with Federal 1099 tax reporting requirements, invoices that are processed on or before June 30th for services to be provided in fiscal year 2008 should be coded to the proper expense account code.  A journal voucher needs to be processed to record that expenditure as a prepaid expense for fiscal year 2007.  In period 01 of fiscal year 2008 this entry needs to be reversed.  This process ensures that the services will be captured correctly in the 1099 reporting process.

The prepaid account code is a general ledger code and will appear on the Banner form FGITBAL. It will not appear on FGIBDST or FWIBUDG. 
The following is the prepaid account code that should be used:

A5901 - Prepaid Expense - Year End Accrual

Example JV’s as follows:

To record expenditure as a prepaid expense in FY07:

Debit       Department Fund             A5901  - Prepaid Expense

Credit      Department Index            Expense Account Code – ex. 24505  Performance Fees

To record the reversal in FY08:

Debit       Department Index             Expense Account Code – ex. 24505 Performance Fees

Credit      Department Fund             A5901 – Prepaid Expense

For list of 1099 tax reportable account codes, please see the following website:

All entries accrual entries must be processed by July 20. If you have any questions please contact Financial Services at 6-3524.

Funds with Negative Balances

Funds may not have negative fund balances at June 30. The necessary entries to resolve any negative balances must be recorded in the 06-07 accounting records by 5:00 PM July 20 using a June 30 transaction date.

Determine the Fund Balance as of June 30 by using the online form FGITBAL for period 14. This will give you your current fund balance. A credit balance is positive. If the balance is a debit balance it is negative. Other departmental funds will have to be used to cover the deficit.  If you have fund balances that remain negative as of June 30 someone in the Business Office may contact you.

If you have any questions about how to process a JV to eliminate a negative fund balance call Financial Services at 6-3524.

Inactive Funds

As part of year-end closing procedures the Business Office is required to identify and eliminate as many inactive funds as possible for termination. Departments are encouraged to notify the Business Office of any known inactive funds that can be terminated.

Please call Financial Services at 6-3524.

Clearing Funds (095XXX)

At year-end, no balances should remain in any operating ledger accounts or any general ledger accounts, except account codes B0100 and B0103 (see below for explanation), of departmental clearing funds.

If you are in charge of clearing a departmental clearing fund, the deadline to clear the fund is July 20. Process a journal voucher using a June 30 transaction date. In many cases these entries need to be reversed as of July 1 in the new fiscal year.

Most commonly used year end accrual account codes are A5901 Prepaid Expense Year End Accrual and B5901 Accrued Undistributed Income (YE Accrual account).

Clearing fund account code B0100 Invoices Payable account balances are left alone.  A clearing entry is posted using account code B0103 Invoices Payable-Clrng Fund Reclass so that the sum of the two account code balances net to zero in the clearing fund.

Call Financial Services at 6-1115 if you have any questions.

Payroll Adjustments

July 18 is the last day to submit completed Payroll Accounting Adjustment (PAA) forms for HRIS pay that departments wish to adjust and post to Fiscal Year 06-07.  This is accomplished by specifying a posting override date of June 30, 2007.  PAA forms submitted after this date will be processed to post to the current date in FY 07-08.

Departments with access to PHAREDS can adjust pay on their own using the posting override date of June 30, 2007 if they wish to post to FY 06-07.  Adjustments completed by departments are subject to the same July 18 deadline.  PHAREDS adjustments completed through disposition 60 using a June 30, 2007 posting date will post to FY 06-07 if they are completed by close of business July 18, 2007. Departmental access to PHAREDS will be removed at the close of business on July 18, 2007.  Departmental access to PHAREDS will be reinstated once FY2007 is closed.
