(2) Criteria for determining whether a valid obligation exists are as follows:

(a) The cost of personal property, including materials, supplies and equipment, ordered but not received may be encumbered if a valid purchase order for the items was issued prior to June 30th.

(b) The cost of commitments related to construction in progress may be encumbered if a legally binding contract was signed and effective or a valid purchase order was issued prior to June 30th. If performance under the contract is complete, or virtually complete, the cost of the entire contract should be accrued.
