Approving Requisitions

NOTE to LSU Health Shreveport and New Orleans:  Requisitions must be Budget Checked by the Department prior to Purchasing sourcing (i.e. generating) the requisition to a Purchase Order or RFQ - Request for Quote (for bid). Any requisition that does not have a Valid Budget Check Status will be returned to the Department to run the Budget Check process and ensure that it is Valid. This will speed up the processing of a PO or RFQ.  See the “Budget Check a Requisition” Web Based Training module for instructions on how to run the Budget Check process and how to change the ChartString(s) on a Budget Checked requisition prior to the requisition being sourced to a PO or RFQ.

Managing Encumbrances

This module contains the tools needed to learn the concepts and procedures involved in managing encumbrances and pre-encumbrances in order to assist in closing or adjusting remaining balances. Encumbrance accounting allows an organization to track items from the time the organization expresses intent to purchase them until the time of the purchase and payment. Encumbrance accounting involves pre-encumbrances, encumbrances, and expenditures.

A pre-encumbrance is the intent to buy a product or service. Although it is a commitment to the department's budget, it is not a final or binding commitment with the vendor. A pre-encumbrance is created by a requisition. A pre-encumbrance becomes an encumbrance when the requisitioned item becomes a commitment to purchase goods or services (typically through a contract) and a purchase order is issued. Once the purchase order is issued, the pre-encumbrance is reversed.  An encumbrance becomes expenditure when payment is issued by Accounts Payable. Once the payment is issued, the encumbrance is reversed. On occasion there is a remaining encumbrance amount. This course will provide the end-users the tools needed to ensure that the remaining encumbrance amount of a PO Line be adjusted or canceled, if necessary.  On occasion, the end-user may need to request that a remaining pre-encumbrance amount of a Requisition Line be adjusted or canceled by Purchasing.
