Fiscal Year-End (FY24)
Mason’s Fiscal Year ends on June 30, 2024. Departments are encouraged to begin planning purchases and/or payments to ensure that supplies, equipment, and services paid from Educational and General (E&G) funds are delivered and paid for by the university’s fiscal year-end. Further adhering to the deposit payment dates and Journal Voucher processing will ensure transactions are recorded in FY24.

MFG Additional Approver Feature
|
The Travel Office would like to announce an upcoming enhancement we are adding to the Mason Finance Gateway, beginning May 1st, 2024. Currently, approvers can only reassign their approvals. This new functionality will be available for approvers to add one more approver and to include comments during the approval process. This can be done on the approval confirmation screen, where individuals will add the approver from the given list of names.
|
|
This does not impact or change how approvers are managed in MFG. This only applies to an expense report where an additional, individual approver will review a particular report. The Travel team will be adding this functionality to the approver guide. These steps will be added to the MFG Approver Guide and a quick demonstration will take place at a future Fiscal Support and Connections Network (FSCN) meeting.

The Cashier’s Office has relocated into the Student Accounts Office suite in SUB 1, #1600. #1600 is located across from the Mason Student Services Center. The drop box for the Cashier’s Office is located in the niche near the entry/exit doors of the building. Campus maps and signage will be updated through the appropriate channels.

Journal Voucher Update

All Journal Vouchers (JVs) should be entered or submitted at least three business days before month end to allow for approval and posting. If a JV is submitted within three days of month end, please date the JV Transaction Date for the following month.
