Month: July 2011

An accrual is necessary only for goods or services that were received on or prior to June 30th. Fiscal 11 expenses can be accrued until 5 pm on July 14. The process is different depending on whether or not you have an invoice in hand by July 14.

Invoice in Hand by July 14
There is no need to send an accrual email request. Complete the Accounts Payable voucher as normal with two differences.

1. Ad hoc Susan Pavis at the end of the workflow path after Accounts Payable.
2. Note in “Instructions to AP” that this is a Fiscal 11 accrual

Invoice not Received by July 14
Email Susan Pavis at spavis@wesleyan.edu by 5pm July 14th. The email should have all the necessary information such as vendor, amount, smartkey/account and dates of goods or services (which must be prior to June 30th). Please copy the appropriate approver on the email. Susan will process a 2010/11 fiscal year charge to the smartkey. When the actual invoice is received, complete an accounts payable voucher in Fiscal 12 by July 29, charging the department smartkey, and ad hoc Susan Pavis into workflow as an approver at the end of the workflow. Note in “Instructions to AP” that the voucher was accrued.

2. NEW MILEAGE RATE
Beginning July 1, 2011 the mileage rate will be $0.555.  The 2012 Expense Report can be found in your Portfolio under Administrative Applications.  The 2011 Expense Report should be used for travel that occurred prior to July 1, 2011.
