All purchase REQ orders for the next academic year (2026/27) need to be approved on IRIS/PSF online by Friday 19th June 2026. Therefore, please ensure all REQs are raised in advance of this deadline. The deadline is set to ensure that orders can be placed by WMAT finance and received by the relevant school/department before the end of term.
All purchase REQ orders for goods/supplies relating to next academic year 26/27 MUST be marked on the REQ ‘2026/27 order’ in the comments and reference box (see below). If this is not done, it may come out of the wrong year’s budget.
At this stage of the Budget Cycle (unless spoken to by your Finance Manager), you can assume a similar 26/27 Department Budget to 25/26.
26/27 budgets will be loaded into IRIS purchasing during the summer holidays and then can be viewed via the Budget Holder Report (by selecting August 2027).
Please ensure these goods / supplies are not used until September 2026 (the auditors have checked this in the past).
For REQs orders raised after this date we are unable to guarantee delivery for the end of term (w/c 13th July 26) and they may not arrive until September 2026.
