Financial Transaction Freeze:
June 13 – July 15
Due to the cutover migration period from Oracle to Workday, we will be implementing a freeze on certain financial transactions such as purchase requisitions and purchase orders, supplier invoices, Amazon orders and time entry. Submissions after the dates noted below may result in processing delays until mid-July.
NOTE: The cutover dates below should not be interpreted as permission to slow the approval or processing of invoices and other amounts due and payable for expenses incurred before June 30, 2025. Your prompt attention to these matters will help smooth the transition process and avoid potential delays.

Fiscal Year End Processes Deadlines & Details
With New York Tech’s June 30 fiscal year-end approaching, we are providing guidance about the year-end closing process. We want business processes to run smoothly for all transactions, whether they affect the closing budgets of FY25 or the opening budgets of FY26.
This year, due to the transition to Workday, we ask you to accelerate certain submissions as documented below.
New York Tech is obligated to report all goods and services received by June 30, 2025, within FY25, regardless of whether budget funds are available or not. For example, if we receive an invoice in July 2025 for a purchase or travel that occurred in June or earlier, we must charge that cost to FY25. If we receive an invoice for a service contract that begins on July 1, 2025, or later, we must charge that cost to FY26, even if the invoice is presented to Accounts Payable and paid in June 2025 or prior.
If you have questions about the status of your financial transactions, please refer to the list of Financial Affairs staff at the bottom of this page. If you require special assistance, please contact Assistant Controller George Scheu or Controller Eileen Valerio. We thank you in advance for your cooperation to help ensure a smooth and accurate close.
Invoices, foreign wire requests, check requests, and travel and business expense reimbursements pertaining to FY25, should be forwarded to Accounts Payable for payment by June 23, 2025. Invoices and payment documents must contain departmental approval and all supporting documentation including any related purchase order number. Invoices without a PO should be submitted once department approval is received.
If you are over budget for FY25, please communicate immediately with the Budget Office at budgets@nyit.edu. We will assist you in identifying other available budget sources, and in some cases, your FY26 budget may be reduced. Regardless of budget status, all invoices must be recorded and paid promptly, so please do not hold invoices or other payment documents as doing so impairs vendor relationships and creates accounting errors. If you have received an invoice that is in dispute, please submit a copy to AP with documentation about the dispute so that we may track it for accounting purposes while it awaits final payment authorization.
After June 23, 2025, all remaining FY25 invoices, foreign wire requests, check requests, and travel and business expense reimbursements should be forwarded daily to Accounts Payable through the remainder of June and July. Please make every effort to forward FY25 invoices to our offices as soon as possible during this time.
Requests to add new vendors must be submitted by June 1, 2025. All purchase requisitions for FY25 operating expenses must be entered and approved in Oracle no later than the close of business on June 13, 2025. Asthis critical date approaches, please review your open requisitions to ensure they are approved in a timely fashion and that all supporting documents have been provided to Purchasing (i.e., W-9, contracts, insurance certificates, etc.). Open or pending purchase requisitions that have not been approved by June 13, 2025, will be canceled and new purchase orders will not be created until Workday has opened in July 2025.
The FY26 operating budget will become available in Workday on July 1, 2025. As soon as the budget load process is complete, the Budget Office will send an announcement to the community, and schools and departments may begin entering purchase requisitions for FY26.
Open invoices for projects should be forwarded to Accounts Payable for payment by June 23, 2025. Budgets for projects that are in-process but not completed by June 30, 2025, may carry forward into the next fiscal year. Budgets for canceled and completed projects will be closed and any unspent budget dollars will be recaptured centrally.
All FY25 Blanket Purchase Orders will be closed as of June 27, 2025. If you receive a FY25 invoice that would have been charged to a Blanket PO, please enter the GL account number when submitting the invoice to Accounts Payable.
Purchasing staff have begun notifying departments about open purchase orders for FY25 operating expenses. Please notify Purchasing regarding orders that are awaiting delivery of the items or invoices. Purchasing will contact vendors to obtain the delivery status of items and to request invoice copies to expedite the closing process. Beginning July 1, all open FY25 purchase orders will be reviewed to determine if a matching expense was incurred and are awaiting payment. If a purchase order is deemed to be invalid, the purchase order will be closed.
As of May 16, 2025, all UMB PCards were canceled. Where requested, they have been replaced by TD PCards.
All remaining UMB transactions must be reconciled and reviewed on the UMB website by May 31, 2025.
All TD PCard transactions may be reconciled within 3 days of the purchase date.
- TD PCard transactions through May 31, 2025, must be reconciled and reviewed by June 6, 2025, on the TD website.
- All June 30, 2025, transactions must be reconciled and reviewed by July 7, 2025, on the TD website. These transactions will not carry forward to Workday.
- Any transactions incurred on July 1, 2025, or later, will not feed to the TD website and must be reconciled in the Workday system.
Purchases made with the NYIT PCard will be included in FY25 when they meet all the following conditions:
- The purchase must be made no later than the close of business on June 30, 2025.
- The items purchased must be received by June 30, 2025.
Credit card requests made to Purchasing must meet all the following conditions:
