Financial Services
ACCOUNTS RECIEVABLE

New Cash Receipts Process  
Cash receipts must be entered into the district’s computerized accounting system, BusinessPlus, for all deposited money. With the upgrade to BusinessPlus, a new reference guide has been developed. If you have questions, please contact the DMPS Treasurer, Emily Truitt.  
ACCOUNTING

Year End  
Year End is fast approaching! Look for Year End procedures, deadlines, checklists in the coming weeks.  
Procurement Services
PURCHASING

Year End  
Although year end is a few months away, funds spent for FY21-22 purchases must be received and invoiced before June 30, 2022. Please keep this in mind, as supply chain issues have not improved and continue to affect all industries. Unfortunately, we are finding that products can take several months to receive. Please be proactive, start planning and inputting your orders as soon as possible so that you may fully use this year’s funding.
