Accruals

Accruals are processed for expenditures to outside sources for which the
goods or services were ordered in FY15 but have either not been received or
have not been paid.

There are two Types of Accruals.

A Accrual

B Accrual
Accruals Continued:

It is especially important that you answer the question “Were goods or
services received on or before June 30th?”

If your answer to this question is “no”, you have an “A” accrual. The
goods and services were received ‘A’fter June 30th.

“A” accruals will only be recorded for expenditures using General
Operating funds, as they are needed only for state budget purposes.

“A” accruals will only be processed for purchases greater than $1,000.

If your answer to this question is “yes”, you have a “B” accrual, the goods
and services were received ‘B’efore June 30th.
Accruals Continued:

If an invoice is not received by June 30th, please use the following guidelines
for all departments, regardless of funding source:

Purchases valued at less than $1000 will not be accrued.

Business Services will automatically review the PO’s and DPO’s on file and research if any
need to be accrued.

Submit and/or contact Business Services about any outstanding order(s) or payments.
Purchase Requisition/DPO Schedule

The following Purchase Requisition (PR)/DPO cutoff dates have been coordinated with the State Procurement Bureau to
synchronize with the processing times and deadlines set by the State of Montana. If you need to make purchase before the end
of Fiscal Year 2015
Please Note: All dollar amounts shown represent Total Contract Value (TCV), which includes the value of any potential renewals.

Other than controlled commodities, MSU-Billings Purchasing has the authority to process Requisitions with a total contract
value (including renewals and options) up to $150,000. If the TCV of the PR/DPO exceeds $150,000, we will send a Requisition
to the MSU Bozeman Procurement Services for processing.
REQUISITIONS FOR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, FY 2015

Requisitions exceeding $150,000 will need to go through MSU Bozeman, as MSU Billings cannot spend over this amount within
its delegated authority. If you have something of this magnitude on the horizon, please contact Business Services immediately.

Other requisitions (valued under $150,000) need to be turned in to Purchasing according to the following timetable to ensure
adequate time for bids to be awarded:

Procurements that require Competitive Bidding: Monday, May 18th
