This is especially problematic around the time of fiscal close. Many libraries do not perform the fiscal close operation until some time after the end of the fiscal year. Some libraries will wait a week or more, while various issues are cleaned up. Invoices that are retrieved after the last day of the old fiscal year are processed by Evergreen and automatically expend from the old fiscal year's funds rather than the new fiscal year.

This is also a problem throughout the year when libraries are trying to reconcile expenditures with a town or institution. Libraries have to compensate for the EDI invoices for which that they have not yet received a paper invoice.

I agree with Kathy that funds on an invoice should not expend until the invoice is closed.
