**All dates are subject to change.*
Please be aware that *Journal Vouchers, Transfer of Funds, PreWorkday Journals, and Student Reimbursements* that remain in progress must be fully approved by the closing date noted. Any transactions still awaiting approval at the time of close will be cancelled.
To avoid becoming caught in the cancellation process, it is recommended that manual journals not be initiated on the period closing date. Instead, please wait until the following day, or later in the day once the close process has been completed.
The cancellation of journals is standard Workday functionality and is similar to the former KFS auto-disapprove process. These transactions cannot automatically roll forward to the next accounting period. Unfortunately, the accounting period cannot be closed until all journals are either fully approved or cancelled.
Initiators associated with cancelled transactions will receive a Workday notification and will need to copy and resubmit the journal in the next accounting period. Instructions for copying and resubmitting a cancelled journal can be found in the job aid linked here Copy Journal or Reverse Journal (KB0017408)
To proactively monitor journals that have not yet posted, you can use one of the following methods:
*1. Workday Notifications*
- If you are an initiator or approver on a journal that is currently in progress, you will receive a notification every Monday.
- These notifications provide visibility into who currently has the transaction pending action.
*2. Search by Journal ID*
- Enter the Journal ID in the Workday search bar.
- Review the *Process History* to determine the journal's current status and approval path.
*3. Run RPT745*
- Change the *Journal Entry Status No Restrictions* field to *In Progress*.
- Use the resulting Journal ID to review the transaction's Process History and determine its current status and approval path.
Month-end reports will be available on the day following the period closing date.
