Individual ITC's may supply slightly different instructions depending on the policies and procedures of the ITC.  Therefore, these procedures are intended to be general guidelines only.

Pre-Closing Procedures

The following pre-closing procedures can be completed any time prior to closing the fiscal year.

• 1. The Central office square footage and ITC IRN information must be updated in the 'ORGANIZATION'  program under CORE.  The district profile includes information to report the central office square footage for your district and your ITC IRN.
• 2. The Building Profiles information must be updated in the 'BUILDING PROFILES' program under PERIODIC.  The building profiles includes information to report the correct square footage, bussing percentages, and lunchroom percentages for each building in your district. 
• 3. A Building Profiles report may be generated by running the 'SSDT District Building Information' report under the Report Manager grid.
• 4. Run the SSDT Account Validation Report under the Report Manager to ensure no invalid accounts exist.  If invalid accounts do exist, they should be changed via the 'ACCOUNT CHANGE' program under UTILITIES by changing them to valid account codes.

• 5. Check the EMIS fund categories on your cash accounts. Make any necessary updates via the 'CASH' option of ACCOUNTS program under CORE.  The category defines the FUND/SCC describing what type of fund it is for EMIS year-end financial data processing.

  In the CASH grid, add the 'EMIS FUND CATEGORY' column to the grid. In this column, filter by '<> (space)' to query all funds that contain an EMIS Fund Category. You can also generate a report of ALL cash accounts to see if there are EMIS Fund Categories missing for accounts that require one. ODE's current EMIS manual (section 6.2 Cash record), contains a listing of available EMIS Fund Categories. If an EMIS fund category is required but the list of options don't apply, enter an "*" in the EMIS Fund Category field.

• 6. Run an 'SSDT OPU LISTING' report under the Report Manager grid to review your OPUs to make sure your IRN numbers and Entity types are correct. Use OPUs under CORE to make any necessary changes.  All OPUs must have an IRN within your district.

• 7. If you plan to use the SCENARIOS option under BUDGETING to enter your next year proposed budgets and revenue estimates, this may be completed before closing the fiscal year.  

  The "IAB' options of APPROP (classic reference) are not available in the Redesign yet. Issue # USASR-2767 will implement current year proposed amounts.
