Agencies can now access the 2018 Annual Budget and Accounting Instructions. There are two new instructions:
Visit the Project Costing Reference Guide page and download a copy of the newly revised “Project Costing (PC1) User Guide.” It covers how non-grant projects are created, maintained, and closed in the Project Costing module.
Non-grant projects are created when the project and activities are funded by the agency rather than a sponsor and there is no need to bill. The project will be used to perform cost collection only.
Agency staff who currently coordinate events or wish to learn about events using SWIFT can view the newly updated Strategic Sourcing Quick Reference Guides. The 16 new and updated guides cover sourcing for Professional/Technical services and general sourcing topics.
As part of the year end clean-up activities, the PO Recon (PO Close) job is scheduled to run the weekend of May 12th. The PO Reconciliation Job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the status to “Complete”. See the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips for additional information. It is on the bottom of this page.
The PO Close job will run two additional times this year to assist in closing documents: July 28th and the hard close weekend of August 11th.
Remember, you can prevent the PO Reconciliation Job from closing a PO by clicking the “Hold From Further Processing” checkbox on the PO header page should you plan on increasing the order at a later date.
