Fiscal period rollover/closure (aka fiscal year rollover/closure) should happen shortly after the beginning of the next fiscal year (July 1 each year in the CSU) or before the end of the previous fiscal year. Depending on the settings in your campus, you may have 1 to 30 some amount of days grace period to use the previous fiscal year before you cannot draw from funds in the current year (see #5 below).

Recommended documentation:

Ex Libris documentation for fiscal period closure

Other notes to supplement the documentation:

  1. The CSU does not charge each other our own campuses for resource sharing so you only need to do the first two steps (Ledger Rollover and PO Line Rollover) as there are no resource sharing funds to rollover.

  2. Even though you can set up a fiscal period before the previous one ends, you cannot use the fund funds in that period until the first day of the new fiscal period.

  3. After you rollover to the new fiscal period, your Alma may still default to the old year filter. Once you choose the new year for the filter, it will retain that instead of trying to filter to the old period.

...

Then you can see the current fiscal period in your filters:

...

  1. We recommend keeping notes on your process, number of funds, ledgers, and PO lines from year to year. These numbers do not change too much year to year and this will save you time and stress with this important process each year.

  2. Grace period: If you look at the previous fiscal year ledger, you will find what the grace period is before you need to start using the new year’s funds. This example has a grace period of 5 days after the end of the previous fiscal period.

  1. If you are not sure if a rollover has happened yet in your Alma, here are two places to check, if you have the appropriate Alma roles :
