Fiscal Year End 2021 Reminders
As we conclude Fiscal Year 2021, visit the Northwestern Fiscal Year End website for important information, including key dates, task reminders, and contacts. The website also includes a virtual Town Hall Session and corresponding presentation slides. We have also highlighted some key dates related to Procurement and Payment Services.
New Payment Processes
As announced in our last newsletter, a new invoicing system has been implemented. As part of this new invoicing system, Accounts Payable now has the ability to email invoices received to department and school staff if it cannot be processed. Learn more about the new payment processes.
Ship-to Code Home Addresses
To foster the remote work transition last year, department and school staff were allowed to request that their home address be set up as a ship-to code in NUFinancials. Since most faculty and staff will be returning to work at least three days a week beginning September 7, packages should now be shipped to campus office addresses. Therefore, beginning September 1, we will no longer accept any new temporary home address ship-to code requests and previously created home address codes will begin to be deactivated. Learn more about this update.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Supply Ordering
As we prepare for the fall, departments and schools should remember to utilize the personal protective equipment (PPE) that PPS has ordered on behalf of the University. Procurement and Payment Services has purchased general PPE for the University and will continue to provide it to departments and schools on campus upon request at no cost at least through the end of the calendar year.
Mail and Delivery Schedule Confirmed
Last summer, an operational change occurred in which mail was no longer delivered to every building Monday through Friday, but rather became a twice weekly service. The change has been well received, and Mail Services will continue to deliver mail twice a week in the fall.
Tableau Creator
The Data Management & Analytics (DMA) team is pleased to announce improved license management processes for new Tableau license purchases and renewals. New processes simplify and streamline interactions with Tableau, provide enhanced support and reduce administrative overhead.
