As part of the year-end cleanup on SWIFT, the Purchase Order Reconciliation (PO Close) job is scheduled to run Friday, May 12. The PO Reconciliation job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the Status to "Complete."
For addition information on this job, see the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips.
The PO Close job will run two additional times this year to assist in closing documents: June 30 and the hard close weekend of August 18.
Remember, you can prevent the PO Reconciliation job from closing a purchase order by selecting the "Hold From Further Processing" checkbox on the purchase order header page. You can use this checkbox if you plan on increasing the purchase order at a later date.
In preparation for the year-end close, agencies can start reviewing their purchase orders now. There are several ways to cancel or close purchase orders depending on how it was created and how it was used.
Consider attending a webinar offered in May or June.
Here are some quick reference guides to help you.
You can also view a summary in theCancel and Close Purchase Orders Video tutorial.
The SWIFT Help Desk fields many questions about purchase order document types. Below is a table to help you sort through document types. For more in-depth information about them, please review the Purchasing Reference Guides.
