Topics considered this FY:

  • Revisit deadline for invoices/order cutoff?
    • Lars: feedback from Langdell asking us to extend EOD/invoice loading deadlines to avoid creating many records by hand
  • P-Cards (new Concur system):  2 week approval process, proposed 5/31 end date for all p-card activity (including rush, but can do Amazon Business as an alternate), needs to be widely advertised
    • Lars: ask Acq folks to try to limit to rush orders, reduce p-card use in May
  • Review invoices without assignment to help determine EDI/API invoice end date
    • Mallory investigating if any of these could be deleted/reloaded
  • Other topics
    • Tub 385/415 changes still in the works (MCZ)
