15

What is an Encumbrance?

16

Encumbrances

Transactions that represent a valid financial obligation of a

fiscal period for which appropriation should be

reserved to meet that financial obligation.

17

Certified Encumbrances

Valid encumbrances that an agency chooses to reserve to

meet a future financial obligation.

18

Valid Encumbrance (State Statute 81-138.01):

• A purchase order is issued, but the goods and accompanying invoice were not received and paid during the same biennium;

• Goods or services were received, but an invoice has not been received and paid;

• Goods or services and an invoice were received, but payment could not be made during the same biennium;

19

Valid Encumbrance (State Statute 81-138.01):

• Salaries have been earned and are payable to the employees, but have not been paid as of the end of the biennium as a result of pay periods not being consistent with the end of the biennium

• Higher education institutions may encumber payrolls for the remainder of the summer session which is in progress at the end of the state's biennium if they have been budgeted and appropriated in such manner.

20

Valid Encumbrance (State Statute 81-138.01):

• A written agreement for a grant or award to distribute aid was signed but was not paid during the same biennium.

21

There are four ways in NIS to identify prior year obligations:

• Prior Year Voucher Without P.O.(P9 transaction created in expense accounts)

• Prior Year Voucher With P.O.(P9 transaction in the Received not Voucher Payable)

• Manual Encumbrance(J9 transaction created in Journal Entries)

• Automatic Encumbrance(Purchase Order Transaction)

22

• Use the Prior Year Voucher Processing Menu

23

Prior Year Voucher With P.O.

This transaction is created when a purchase order is created after June 30, for a prior year obligation.

The purchase order did not exist on June 30 so it is not included in the outstanding purchase orders at June 30 (PC ledger).

24

Prior Year Voucher With P.O. (continued)

When received an expenditure is created but it is not identified with a P9 since it is not a voucher transaction.

A Received Not Vouchered Payable is created as an OV transaction type.

25

Prior Year Voucher With P.O. (continued)

When the voucher is processed, a three way match occurs.

Using the PRIOR YEAR VOUCHER PROCESSING Menu, the accounts payable entry and the offsetting Received Not Vouchered Payable entry (Debit to Object Code 211700) are created as a P9 transaction.

26

Prior Year Voucher With P.O. (continued)

The Biennial Carryover Report is designed to look at the P9 transactions in the Received Not Vouchered Payable Liability object code.

Dates are checked to insure that RNV P9 documents associated with purchase orders created before June 30 are not included. This would double the encumbrances.

27

Prior Year Voucher With P.O. (continued)

The Purchase Order number is identified and the related expenditure account is looked up on the purchase order.

These transactions are identified as a P9 transaction on the Biennial Carryover Report and the Encumbrance Detail Report.
