  • FY26 Important UNIV Blanket Order Processing Information: Time Period - April 14 to June 30

    Cristina Cardenas | April 4, 2025
    FY26 Blanket order entry can begin on Monday, April 14. A new workday enhancement will be turned on the week of April 7 to allow for future dated requisitions. Prior to this enhancement, users were instructed to "current date" blanket requests, and then the Controller's Office had to run a manual job during month end close in April and May to roll the encumbrances into the future fiscal year. With this new enhancement, all FY26 blanket order requisitions should be entered as future dated requests (request date of 7/1/25). The corresponding purchase order (PO) document dates and encumbrances will also be future dated, so they are correctly recorded for FY26. The PO will be issued after the requisition is fully approved. See the full post for more information to be aware of with this enhancement, including additional reminders about the use of blanket orders.
