ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fiscal Year-End Announcements
As the University approaches fiscal year-end, June 30, 2023, Financial Services would like to remind the campus that effective financial oversight is the result of reviews and reconciliations occurring throughout the year. Below are key year-round activities that must be performed on a regular basis and more frequently as year-end approaches.


Year-round activities:

  • Purchase Orders and Blanket Orders: Review outstanding purchase orders and balances to ensure accuracy. Work with Procurement buyers to close purchase orders that are no longer needed. Please note, closing a purchase order relieves any encumbrance against a purchase order and is FINAL-there is no reversal.
  • Requisitions:  Processing time of requisitions vary greatly, depending on its complexity and scope. For a standard requisition, processing time is approximately 10 business days.
  • Fund and DeptID balance reviews:  Review fund DeptID, or other chartfield account string to ensure accuracy. 
  • Accounts Payable:  Processing time for accounts payable varies depending on completeness of documentation and volume of campus submissions. A typical turnaround for AP invoices, check requests, STLS payments and travel claims is 10 business days.
  • Accounts Receivable Billing Requests:  CSUEB invoice requests are only permitted to be issued from the Student Finance office.  Processing time is generally 5 business days.

Year-end reminders:

  • P-Card transactions posted to the US Bank statement by May 18th  will be included in the current fiscal year. These P-Card transactions will be the last ones to record for the year and consist mostly of May transactions.
  • Certify’s prepaid expenses (i.e., Enterprise Car Rental, etc.) should be processed timely. Please check your Certify wallet for uncleared expenses. Any uncleared  business credit card transactions posted thru June 30th will be accrued by Accounting and included with June expenses. This will include expenses incurred for planned trips occurring in the next fiscal year.

Transactions or requests received by the cut-off dates allow for normal processing times and inclusion within the current fiscal year.  Any items received after the due dates will be processed as time permits.

New Project Code for Coronavirus Related Expenses

Due to the continued Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the university is required to report the financial impact of the university’s response to the outbreak.  To facilitate multiple reporting requirements, a project code has been established:  EMR001.  The usage of this project code must meet the expense criteria listed below.

EMR001 expense criteria:

  • Directly related to Cal State East Bay’s COVID-19 response
  • Would not have been incurred if the COVID-19 outbreak had not taken place
  • Incurred within the timeframe of the outbreak
  • Must be deemed necessary and reasonable, sufficiently documented, and properly authorized
Please use this project code with your primary department ID and fund number for costs eligible as defined above. 
Please note that there are no changes to the university’s standard financial operating procedures and policies as it relates to the COVID-19 response. 
As the situation unfolds, we will monitor the financial impacts and work with department units that incur significant costs. 

For further questions, please contact kim.napoli@csueastbay.edu.
