Policy updates

Accounts Payable 20 January 2025 Expense Management	The Accounts Payable procedure has been updated to reflect that procedures for accounts payable (AP) invoice processing in Quantum have been revised to ensure accurate accounting, budget management, and programmatic reporting. Users will now populate only the invoice date field, while Quantum will automatically derive other dates. These changes will apply to invoices with an accounting date of 1 January 2025 or later.
Accounts Payable 30 May 2024 Expense Management	The Accounts Payable policy has been updated to align with the requirements of the Procurement Methods policy on micro-purchasing (purchases below $5,000). These purchases now require a PO in line with the requirements stipulated in Procurement Methods Policy (paragraphs 18 - 23).
Prepayments 13 December 2023 Expense Management	The Prepayments policy and the Create Prepayment procedure have been updated to reflect the recent technical solution in Quantum which has resolved double encumbrance of resources in the processing of prepayments.
Purchase Orders (Obligations, Maintenance and Closure) 9 June 2023 Expense Management	The policy and the procedures have been updated to reflect UNDP's transition to its new cloud-based management platform Quantum in January 2023, replacing its previous ATLAS system.
Raising E-requisitions 9 June 2023 Expense Management	The policy and the procedures have been updated to reflect UNDP's transition to its new cloud-based management platform Quantum in January 2023, replacing its previous ATLAS system.
