Fiscal Year-End Reminders

As we approach fiscal year-end, please review the FY 2026 closeout schedule to ensure timely processing of transactions. April deadlines include requisitions (non-MarketPlace requisitions), which must be entered and approved at all levels to accommodate receipt and payment of FY 2026 purchases by April 15, 2026. 

Make sure to review the PBS Year End Planning Guide, an organizational tool designed to answer these common questions. 

  • What is year-end? 
  • Why is it important? 
  • What do you need to do to prepare for year-end? 
  • What are the year-end deadlines? 

Let’s get ready for fiscal year-end!
