Purchases, Payments and Shipments during the Winter Break
Complete Preparations for the Winter Break
As discussed in the December 14th P2P user group webinar, users should be preparing for the holiday break by:
- Taking action to approve (or reject, if appropriate) any outstanding invoices so that payments can be processed timely and accurately; and
- Discussing any remaining outstanding procurement or expense needs with your Financial Unit Manager(s) to ensure any urgent transactions will be approved in a timely manner – transactions that are not urgent are advised to be held until after the break.
Package Delivery Schedule: Monday, December 24 through Tuesday, January 1, 2019.
During our Winter Break both FedEx and UPS have been instructed to hold all regular package delivery and pick up services. In the event you have an urgent need to schedule a delivery or pick up during this time, you may contact the appropriate carrier at the following numbers:
