1.YEAR END – GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT YEAR END?
We have answers. Please plan on attending one of two year end seminars being offered to review the year end process and highlight differences from normal financial processing.

Thursday, May 17, 2:00 in Usdan 108
Tuesday, June 12, 10:00 in PAC 001

You can also find lots of information in the year end memo attached here or located on the Finance website.

2. WB MASON – AGAIN
We are still waiting for some credits to be applied relating to duplicate transactions that were paid by both the monthly electronic file and the pcard process. We apologize for the continued confusion related to WB Mason charges and are working diligently to resolve all issues.

3. W-9 REQUIREMENTS – VENDORS ON HOLD
The University currently has over 120 Vendors on hold for payment pending a completed W-9. Having a W-9 on file prior to payment is an IRS requirement. The University, as well as the Vendor, could be subject to IRS fines for failure to obtain or furnish this Form. Please review the Vendors on Hold and follow up with any that may be in your area.

You can review Vendors on Hold under the menu Vendors>Vendor Information>Add/Update>Vendor. Under “Find and Existing Value” tab, change the “Hold Payment” field to “Yes” and click Search.

4. INSTRUCTIONS TO AP
Please remember to use the “Instructions to AP” field on the voucher for communication Accounts Payable staff. The “Collaboration” feature should be for comments related to workflow or other information not related to Accounts Payable.
