Fiscal Period Closure APAC and AMERICAS delivered by Jenny Draeger, EMEA delivered by Yoel Kortick This critical session will be delivered three times to accommodate all customer time zones Since fiscal period close is something that is typically done once a year, a number of libraries find a refresher helpful. This session will review the three-step fiscal period rollover process in Alma including ledger rollover, PO line rollover, and resource sharing requests rollover. Will your ledger structure need an update? The draft option can help with that. Alma has tools that help you roll over subscription orders, standing orders, and firm orders that are not yet complete into the new fiscal year so you can continue your work and maintain accurate encumbrances. Finally, active resource sharing requests that sill have an encumbrance need to be rolled over so that they can be processed when the materials are received. After this session you will be prepared to confidently run your fiscal period close. |
