- YE checklists
- Checklists are intended to be generic so that ITCs may customize them to provide additional information for their districts; download the checklist using the three little dots at the top right of the page and select one of the export options
- Example: requesting an additional step to be added to check "if your district ..." steps (ex: step #21) to review open/non-converted requisitions in order to either convert to PO or delete before closing the FY.
- Not all districts use Requisitions in USAS-R so we are cautious to add specific steps that may not be used by all districts to the generic checklist.
