For hosted customers, contact your site manager or open an Innovative Support ticket to check on the status of these tasks.

Good topic!

I email all the libraries a reminder of the closed dates and fiscal rollover (we manage the circ count rollover in-office) in late Nov each year, then again mid-Dec. We always send instructions for each task. For the fiscal rollover, we suggest that newer staff do a practice run in the training environment. And we provide several pieces of customized documentation, including a version of this supportal solution: Fiscal Year Utility was run with the wrong option selected.

Here’s the CCS fiscal year rollover prep list:

• Let us know if you have fund summary and fund hierarchy reports emailed on a monthly basis, so the fiscal year can be adjusted.
• Run the outstanding orders report in the Polaris canned reports (helps identify which purchase orders will be rolled over or will remain attached to the previous FY)
• Release or delete pending purchase orders
• Pay open invoices so that money is expended from the correct FY
• Apply known credits to paid invoices
• Run the preprocessing report
• Review the following queries available in the SQL find tools:
• Purchase Order Line Item Find Tool: Received POLIs not invoiced
• Purchase Orders Find Tool: POs not cancelled or Closed
• Purchase Orders Find Tool: POs not invoiced
• Invoices Find Tool: Invoices not Paid or Closed
