Deposits (including credit card receipts) for credit to your FY24 budget need to be received in the Controller's Office by 10 a.m. on May 31, 2024.

All credit card allocations need to be submitted in GRAM by June 6, 2024, at 5 p.m. Suspension of cards with open or rejected reports will result, if not submitted. As was done in the past, transactions not submitted by the allocation deadline will be charged in FY24 to the cardholder’s default department and project (account 51899 misc. expense).  The Expense Report process will still need to be completed in GRAM in June. If pre-payment was made for an expense that belongs in a future fiscal year, allocate to 1-10702-00000-99999. Follow the steps on the Glossary and Terminology page to process prepaid expenses.

If you have questions regarding the CC process, please contact Patricia Szybowski at extension 5262 or email bmc_creditcard@551827.com.

If the services were performed or the goods were received on or before May 31, 2024, the expense must be posted to FY24.  All approved Payment Requests, E-Market quantity receipts for goods, and E-Market invoices/credit memos to be charged to FY24 budgets are due in the Controller’s office by 5 p.m. on June 3, 2024.

1. Payment Requests

Please write “FY2024” clearly on the top of all Payment Request (Non E-Market) forms that should be charged to FY24 submitted between Tuesday, 5/14/2024 and Monday, 6/3/2024. 

2. E-Market PO quantity receipts/invoices

For invoices from Purchase Orders created in E-Market, the Receipt Date entered when creating the Quantity Receipt will determine which fiscal year the expense will be charged, if the Receipt Date is 5/31/2024 or earlier it will be charged to FY24 and if it is 6/1/2024 or later it will be charged to FY25.  Please only record a 5/31/2024 receipt date for goods actually received on 5/31/2024.

3. E-Market Non-PO invoices/credit memos

All non-PO invoices/credit memos where the service was performed on or before 5/31/2024 must be entered and approved in E-Market by 5 p.m. on 6/3/2024.

To indicate that your invoice/credit memo should be charged against your FY24 budget, please perform the steps in the Fiscal Year End Guide located on the Finance and Administration webpage under Purchases and Payments, Invoice Payments.

You are required to perform these steps for all non-PO invoices/credit memos entered in E-Market between Tuesday, 5/14/2024 and Monday, 6/3/2024.
