Important news from SMART about finance processing Important news from SMART about finance processing

The State of Kansas Financial System (SMART) will be unavailable for all finance processing because of an upgrade from Nov. 5-12. Because of this, vendor payments (including employee travel reimbursement requests) received by Purchasing after 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, cannot be processed for payment by the State of Kansas until Nov. 13. This means vendor payments may potentially be delayed for seven to 10 days. Please plan accordingly.

During the outage you can continue to process and submit ICDs to purchasing and TEM Travel Reimbursements to Accounts Payable. These will be processed by the State as soon as the SMART system is restored. At that point, check payments will resume and should take the normal three-five days to complete the payment process. If you have questions, call the Financial Operations Accounts Payable department at 978-3070.
