7. Core-CT Project Status Budget Close Pre-encumbrances and Encumbrances PO Rollover Status Questions and Answers

8. Commitment (KK) vs. General Ledger (GL) Many cases where transactions posted to GL but not to KK To close budget the calculation is: Carry forward = Budget minus Commitments minus Expenditures Adjustments to KK are being made to equal the balances in GL Adjustments will be made at every budget level, as necessary Budget Close

9. Remaining Pre-encumbrance and Encumbrances will be ignored as part of the calculation for carry forward budgets Old year POs that did not roll, will remain in FY2004 and made inaccessible by the budget close New POs will encumber new year money and carry forward money when brought forward Encumbrance & Pre-encumbrance Balances

10. Any adjustments that are needed to carry forward balances once the budget is closed should be brought to John Clark’s attention John Clark’s email: john.clark@po.state.ct.us Corrections to Balances Brought Forward

12. A balance is required for a PO to roll The 71000 account is a budgetary account so it does not roll Need to create a new distribution line on the PO If your PO didn’t roll forward, your PO personnel need to create a new PO in the new fiscal year It is critical that they use comments on POs/Contracts for audit purposes to reference the original PO and why this PO is being created Old PO will need to be updated to reference the new PO as well Lesson Learned: Reconcile and Close POs and Requisitions Monthly Reduce amount of time at year end to clean up POs and Requisitions Smoother rollover process Agencies went from 90,000+ PO’s in April / May down to ~ 16,000 at rollover PO - Post FY04 Updates

13. More than 8,200 POs were rolled at FYE 16,000 + open POs at the time roll over began At current time, there are 29,000+ POs in 2005 Rollover results sent to Sponsors beginning 7/23/2004; see Daily Mail for details Rolled POs POs stuck mid roll POs with errors PO Cleanup Continues Continuing to work with “stuck” POs Update on PO Rollover

14. There are two key PeopleSoft Cases / Bugs that impacted PO during the Closing processing: Closed Budget Period Error on rolled POs Certain rolled PO’s could not be accessed, even though budget may have existed A fix has been received and has been implemented Dynamic Insert when Budget Checking This error causes POs (and vouchers) to be overlooked in the budget checking process Manual intervention continues to ensure that PO’s and payments are processed on a timely basis The fix will not be applied until Service Pack 2 Bundle 3 which will occur until next calendar year. In the interim, new PO’s will need to be created. Update on PeopleSoft PO Cases
