16. 16 Conversion of FY10 Encumbrances (continued) STARS Encumbrances converted without vendor numbers as a GL encumbrance in SMART will require additional manual effort in SMART before payment can be made –Agency will need to reduce the GL encumbrance by creating a journal entry –Agency will be required to create a prior fiscal year requisition in SMART –Once requisition is sourced to PO agency will need to place PO on hold –Agency will need to contact A&R to change PO budget date –Agency will remove PO hold, PO will be budget checked –Agency can then enter PO related Voucher to process payment Agencies are strongly encouraged to use the DA-107 encumbrance for FY10 year end, these will convert to SMART PO encumbrances –DA-107 converted encumbrances will not require the process noted above

17. 17 SMART Cutover Strategy

18. 18 Cutover Planning & Practicing Cutover planning is proceeding with increasing detail Several practice cycles of cutover will be executed between March and May Dry Run is a full sequence of cutover activities over four weeks –agencies submit conversion files on a specific date and validate the conversions by a specific date –some agencies will enter converted data on-line Dress Rehearsal is full sequence of cutover activities executed in the same time windows, i.e. 24x7 and weekends, in which cutover will actually take place

19. 19 Cutover Strategy Clarification: –January newsletter had 6/30/10 as last day to enter transactions in STARS –Correction 6/29/10 is last day to enter STARS transactions –February newsletter will include this change Reminder to download the cutover calendar from the website and personalize for your agency

35. 35 SMART/SH A RP Integration

36. 36 Department ID - Task ID 273 Agency staff have worked with both SMART and SH A RP to make Department ID requests/updates required due to the impact of SMART. The issuance of Task 273 is a joint effort between SMART and SH A RP Project and non-Project staff to update/revise agency Department ID values and this requires a joint effort at each agency between their Finance/Budget and HR/Payroll staff. The Sunflower Project Team will create a single synchronized Department ID table that will be used by both SMART and SH A RP. Please turn in only one response per agency

37. 37 Department ID - Task ID 273 Even if you do not need to make updates, your agency must complete a series of questions for each of your existing Department ID’s and provide a response to the Sunflower Project to validate your current list of Department ID’s If your agency does not complete this task, SMART may not have the proper configuration necessary for your agency to conduct business on July 1, 2010.

38. 38 Department ID - Task ID 273 Task 273 is due by March 5, 2010 This is your last opportunity to make Department ID changes prior to Go-Live on July 1, 2010.

41. 41 SMART Support

42. 42 SMART Help Desk Contacts Agencies were asked to designate Help Desk Contacts and Liaisons (Task ID 270) to serve as the central point of contact between their agency end users and the SMART Help Desk Designating Help Desk Contacts allows agencies to centralize questions and issues their agency end-users are experiencing with SMART as the first step in helping the end-user SMART Help Desk Contacts in your agency will build system expertise and have an overall view of the incidents your agency is experiencing

43. 43 What is a Help Desk Contact? Serve as the agency’s centralized point(s) of contact for end- users who have questions or issues Attempt to resolve questions and issues at the agency level using resources available (SMART Help Desk Web-based tool, SMART Web-site, SMART on-line training, other agency supplied resources) Have access to the SMART Help Desk Web-based Tool (ServiceDesk) to: –Research previous solutions and related items –Log incidents with the SMART help desk (or the SMART help desk phone number in emergencies) –Track incidents

44. 44 Help Desk Liaisons Each Agency designated a SMART Help Desk Liaison and back-up. Help Desk Liaisons have the same responsibilities as Help Desk Contacts Help Desk Liaisons will also be responsible for contacting the SMART Help Desk to request or change security access to SMART Help Desk Web- based Tool (ServiceDesk)

45. 45 Next Steps Designate your agency’s SMART Help Desk Contacts and Liaison as soon as possible –Many agencies already have – thank you! Help Desk Contacts and Liaisons will be invited to attend a Help Desk Kickoff in April – invitations will be sent in March

48. 48 Finance Updates

49. 49 Purchase Order Voucher Vouchers have a section which allows you to copy in an entire purchase order or specific lines of a purchase order –Easing data entry –Reducing keying errors All of the ChartFields and descriptions are brought into the voucher. You only need to verify the information and save the voucher –Partial payment can be made if only a portion of the purchase is received Purchase Order vouchers are “matched” in SMART with the associated purchase order and receipt. This helps assure the validity and correctness of transactions and payments

50. 50 Purchase Order Voucher UPK

51. 51 Matching Overview SMART will automate the matching process most agencies currently conducted manually. This process occurs after the voucher is saved and before budget checked Matching compares the Purchase Order, the Receipt and the Voucher assuring goods or services are properly received and invoiced before payment is made Voucher that do not pass matching will register in SMART as match exceptions. Exceptions must be resolved by an individual within the agency before the voucher will continue processing How can Agencies prepare for matching? –Considering their current receiving and matching processes, and how that information will be entered into SMART –Agencies should identify who will be responsible to work match exceptions

52. 52 Purchase Order Voucher Start AP Processor receives vendor invoice AP Processor enters invoice # and date and copies information from Purchase Order SMART Matching process runs SMART Match Exceptions? ? AP Maintainer researches and makes updates as necessary Vouchers are budget checked SMART Vouchers routed to Agency AP Approver and approve SMART End Is Voucher over delegated audit authority? ? Voucher routed to A&R for audit SMART Yes No Yes

Notice includes template communication to end users, flier for posting, and link to a video demonstration, “How to Enroll for SMART Training.”

57. 57 Training Update Training Enrollment Process (continued) Who Has Access to the SMART Student Center? End Users with roles that require instructor-led training are added to the SMART Student Center* End Users that need only web-based training will NOT be added to the SMART Student Center –SMART End Users that do not have access to the SMART Student Center complete web-based training on the SMART Website (Example: View-Only roles) –Time and Labor End Users that do not have access to the SMART Student Center complete web-based training on the SHARP website * All employees in agencies currently using Pathlore LMS (SRS, KHPA, Revenue, State Hospitals) will already have access to the SMART Student Center using their current LMS sign-on. However, registration in ILT courses will be limited to those who are mapped to the appropriate role.

58. 58 Training Update Training Enrollment Process (continued) Additional Information –Most courses are offered at least once per week in Topeka to ensure adequate options for scheduling –All web-based training pre-requisites must be complete prior to attending instructor-led training –Some courses require instructor-led pre-requisites. Consult the training plan outline in the SMART Student Center to be sure that pre-requisite ILTs are completed in order. –Some classes may be noted as agency-specific.

59. 59 Training Update Training Enrollment Process (continued) Registration Confirmations will be sent directly to employees via email. Class times are subject to change due to the fact that we are still piloting. Weekly enrollment and completion reports will be sent to agencies starting in mid-March Session Cancellation Policy Outside Topeka –If 10 participants are not enrolled 2 weeks before the training session, the session will be cancelled and participants rescheduled to next closest location

60. 60 Training Update Waitlists for Training We highly encourage employees to register in available dates and times rather than using the waitlist option for a particular class. Currently, employees will not be able to attend courses that are not part of the required curriculum for their SMART roles. Once role-mapping is complete, we will re-assess this approach. If the approach changes, we will notify all agencies of this change in a blanket communication. We will not be taking waitlist requests for this situation ahead of making the decision.

61. 61 Training Update Updates that will save time Billing Processors are not required to attend AR350: Maintaining Customers as pre-requisite AR Administrators do not have to attend AR351: Entering and Maintaining Receivables; If your agency is using pending items, it is recommended that the Pending Item Processor role also be assigned to the AR Administrator Contract Processors are not required to attend PO320: Processing Purchase Requisitions nor PO321: Processing Purchase Orders; However, if you are a contract processor and you do not also have a Buyer role, you must select a Buyer from your agency as the person listed as the contact on any contracts that you enter

62. 62 Training Update Updates that enhance training Projects/Grants: Although the Project Manager, Customer Contracts Manager, and Grants Manager can be three separate people and the courses are designed to stand alone, IF one person has all three roles, the Projects/Grants team recommends taking the PC362: Managing Grants course first AP316: Travel and Expense Administration has changed title: Accounts Payable Workflow Maintenance and includes both Accounts Payable and Travel & Expense Workflow Maintenance.
