Visualizations
Authorized expenditures represent all types of POs authorized by the Purchasing Division. These POs are created from a variety of approved purchasing practices including: awarded and competitively bid contracts, a three quote process, field POs, and approved procurement exempt purchases. Actual expenditures represent all vouchered purchases made via all types of POs during the indicated fiscal year. Timing differences in the procurement process may lead to PO authorization in one fiscal year and spending in the following fiscal year. This commonly occurs with Capital Projects.
