Can I Pay Prior Year Invoices After Rolling a PO Into a New Fiscal Year?

Learn what happens to prior year payments after a PO rollover and what to do before rolling a PO forward

No. Once a PO is rolled into a new fiscal year, it is no longer available in the prior year. All payments and invoices must be processed in the new fiscal year.

Why This Happens

Each Purchase Order is tied to one fiscal year at a time. When you use the PO Rollover Form to move a PO forward, the system updates the PO to the new fiscal year. The remaining balance and all future activity move with it.

After the rollover is complete:

  • The PO is no longer accessible in the prior fiscal year
  • You cannot process payments or invoices against it in the prior year
  • All activity must happen in the new fiscal year

What to Do Before You Roll a PO Forward

If you still have prior year invoices to pay, process them before rolling the PO forward.

Once the rollover is done, there is no way to go back and pay a prior year invoice against that PO.
