Accounts Payable

Expense reports must be submitted and approved by Supervisors by 12/6 IN CONCUR in order to be paid in 2023.  After 12/6 any previous expense will not be able to be reconciled in Concur or transferred to Workday.  Charges not reconciled and approved by 12/6 will be charged against their Division’s Reserve. 

P-card transactions/expenses after 12/6 should be for emergency use only to minimize the number of expense reports being held/submitted in Workday after go-live.  Please plan ahead.  Any new transactions/expenses after 12/6 will be held and submitted IN WORKDAY after go-live.

 

Suspension Dates

Activities to be temporarily suspended 

Dec. 6, 2023 - Dec. 31, 2023

P Card Charges 
P Card usage in December should be as minimal as possible. Card transactions will not feed into Concur after 12/6 and will be held to be fed into Workday in January. 

Charges posted to your card until December 6 should be reconciled in Concur as soon as possible. Charges posted to your card after 12/6 will need to be reconciled on an Expense Report in Workday in January. 

We encourage you to complete all transactions using a P Card in November to minimize the number of transactions to be completed within Workday in January.
