16. 16 Interface Files – Status Milestone Status: Stage 1: 16/21 agencies have completed their entire testing of Stage 1 interfaces 16/21 agencies have completed testing of INF01 6/6 agencies have completed testing of INF15 Stage 2: 1/25 agencies have completed their entire testing of Stage 2 interfaces 8/22 agencies have successfully loaded INF02 interface files 2/4 agencies have successfully loaded INF04 interface files 0/12 agencies have successfully loaded INF06 interface files 0/10 agencies have successfully loaded INF44 interface files Stage 3: 3/25 agencies have completed their entire testing of Stage 3 interfaces 10/23 agencies have successfully received an INF03 interface file

17. 17 Interface Activities / Milestones – Deadline Fast Approaching Interface testing for Stages 2 and 3 has been extended from December 4 th to January 15 th to give agencies additional time to satisfactorily complete testing No additional extensions can be granted due to downstream impacts on Stage 6 and system integration testing All agencies that do not complete Stage 2 and/or Stage 3 by December 31 st will be required to submit a corrective action plan with their December project plan update showing the actions the agency will take to complete testing by January 15 th When you return to your agency, please check with your project managers and IT staff regarding the status of your agency’s interfaces and elevate issues to your agency’s leadership

18. 18 Stage 6 interface testing will involve agencies’ IT and business staff Spreadsheet upload templates: can be used for vouchers, deposits and journals and will be tested in Stage 6 will be available (via download) for agencies to review and begin populating spreadsheet templates normally populated by agency business owners not IT Viewing On-line Interface Transactions: During the middle of Stage 6 (about mid-February) agencies will have an opportunity to view interface transactions on-line in SMART and practice making corrections and troubleshooting The process will work as follows: 1.Agencies send inbound transaction interface files (INF02, INF06, INF44) to SMART 2.Transactions will be processed and errors will be generated (e.g. failed budget checking, incorrect funding string) 3.Agency business owners will use the project testing lab to go on-line and troubleshoot common errors (desktop procedures and project support staff will be available to assist) Stage 6 is also an opportunity for agencies to create error conditions for interfaces to simulate how errors will be logged by SMART and resolved by agencies Stage 6 Interface Testing – Spreadsheet Upload Templates and On-line Corrections

19. 19 Conversion Activities / Milestones – Flat File or Excel Activity/MilestoneStart DateFinish Date Assembly Test: Agency cleans up/extracts data and sends data file(s) to Sunflower Project for visual inspection (Task ID 23) 09/21/0911/06/09 Mock Conversion #1: Agency cleans up/extracts data and sends data file(s) to Sunflower Project; data is loaded into SMART (Task ID 124) 11/06/0901/18/10 Mock Conversion #2: Agency cleans up/extracts data and sends data file(s) to Sunflower Project (Task ID 25) 01/18/1003/05/10 Mock Conversion #3: Agency cleans up/extracts data and sends data file(s) to Sunflower Project (Task ID 224) 03/05/1004/30/10 Conversion Dry Run: Agency cleans up/extracts data and sends data file(s) to Sunflower Project (Task ID 225) 05/01/1005/30/10 Agency extracts data and sends final data file(s) according to cutover schedule (Task ID 107)06/2010

20. 20 Asset Conversion File – Common Feedback Values in some fields exceed record length Required fields left blank Tag Number: Recommended to be entered for each asset Invalid field values Invalid date format - must be MM/DD/YYYY Cost should not have a dollar ($) sign Interface ID should be numbered sequentially for each asset Interface Line Number should be numbered sequentially for each of an asset’s funding lines Business Unit must be 5 digits, used ‘123’ instead of ‘12300’ Split-funded assets entered incorrectly Conversion Files – Feedback Numerous agencies have not submitted asset files for Mock Conversion #1. Inadequate testing of converted data inevitably leads to agency problems @ go-live…

21. 21 How are flat files submitted? Submit the flat file to the secure locations on the DISC mainframe How are Excel data entry template files submitted for the Assets conversion?

23. 23 Reporting Update

24. 24 Reporting Strategy & Approach Steps – Task ID 265 The Reporting Strategy and Approach is moving forward Step 1 – Agencies identify critical reports, Task ID 265 distributed Step 2 – Agencies compare agency identified reports to SMART report list and prioritize potential reporting gaps –2 nd due date is 12/11/09 –approximately 100 potential gaps identified by agencies so far; most from agencies that are de-commissioning financial systems Step 3 –Sunflower Project Team reviews critical and high-priority potential reporting gaps and determines how to resolve gaps – in progress –if an available report is very close to the agency’s needs, no gap exists –if no similar report is available, a gap exists and a report will have to be built: 1. by agencies’ Super Users from the Data Warehouse if data is available 2. by the Sunflower Project Team from Production The Sunflower Project Team will be contacting agencies after 01/01/10 to begin resolving reporting gaps

25. 25 Sensitive Financial Data in the Data Warehouse Based on survey results, agency requirements to secure sensitive data within their agency are diverse, e.g. Account/Object Code, Program/PCA, Dept ID, and vendor Configuring and maintaining security necessary to enable each agency to restrict agency employees from accessing specific, sensitive data elements (within their agency) is not feasible. Bottom line…. a simpler solution is needed to restrict access to sensitive data within an agency Solution: Agencies will restrict employee access to sensitive data using restricted queries/reports/dashboards developed by agency designated Power Users

26. 26 Data Warehouse Power Users Depending on the size of the agency, each agency will designate 1-3 Power Users Agency Power Users: –must have a solid understanding of the data origins and data structures –will develop queries/reports/dashboards for their agency –will have unrestricted access to agency data in the data warehouse –will be responsible for limiting access to sensitive data within their agency –will be the contact point in their agency for issues and concerns related to the data warehouse

27. 27 SMART Finance Updates

28. 28 State Surplus Update How do agencies know what an asset will be sold for or if it was sold at all at State Surplus? If proceeds >$500, Surplus returns 80% of the proceeds via interfund to the agency on a quarterly basis with an itemized listing of assets sold If proceeds <$500, Surplus retains all of the proceeds and the agency is not notified of the sell

29. 29 State Surplus Update (continued) How are we going to communicate with State Surplus, how will they communicate back, and how will asset dispositions be recorded in SMART? The agency will assign the Agency Adjustor, Transfer, Retirement Processor role to the individual authorized to record retirement transactions in SMART. In SMART, assets turned over to State Surplus for disposal shall be recorded as a retirement. The disposal code of “Retired to State Surplus” shall be selected when performing the retirement process. Agencies are expected to establish internal controls to ensure that all disposals are properly authorized and received by an agent of the entity accepting the property. An agency may develop an internal form that meets their needs or use the SMART Asset Disposition form to document physical disposals (draft form on slide 29). If required by the agency, State Surplus will sign as receiving surplus property for goods they actually receive. State Surplus will not sign for lost, stolen or property disposed under Local Disposal Authority.

30. 30 SMART Asset Disposition Form

31. 31 State Surplus Update (continued) When do I retire the asset - when I receive the proceeds or when I turn over the asset to State Surplus? Agencies will retire assets from SMART when property is turned over to State Surplus. The recommended procedure is to record the asset retirement transaction in SMART and then physically dispose of the property. Amounts received from State Surplus would not be material for determining the gain and loss on the sale of assets. Therefore, agencies will not be required to record immaterial proceeds received from the sale of an asset through State Surplus in the AM module. Revenues received from the sale of assets shall be recorded in the SMART as miscellaneous revenue. Receipts recorded post to the SMART Actuals ledger. It is the agencies’ responsibility to record receipts back to the appropriate fund(s) when applicable (i.e. assets acquired with federal grant funds). Agencies need to be aware of the following if they choose to record proceeds received from the sale of an asset in the AM module. Proceeds recorded in the AM module only post to the SMART CAFR_FULL ledger. Before recording proceeds received for assets that have been turned over to State Surplus, the asset would need to be reinstated from retirement. After reinstatement, the retirement transaction would have to be re-recorded in order to enter the amount received in the proceeds field. There will be a timing delay between turning the asset over to State Surplus and being informed of possible proceeds received for a specific asset.

32. 32 Budget Checking Budget checking compares an agency’s encumbrances and actual revenues and expenses from the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Projects, Grants, Purchasing, and Expenses modules against budgeted expenses and revenues. This sort of budgetary control ensures that encumbrances and expenses do not exceed budgets at the appropriation level. The functionality of SMART budgeting, also known as Commitment Control, allows agencies the flexibility to track revenues and expenses against more detailed operating, project, and revenue estimate budgets. Agencies spend less time gathering data from disparate systems to create their budget to actual reports that are necessary for managing the financial operations of their agency. Budget to actual reporting at various levels of detail will be available in SMART on a near-real-time basis. Having more accurate and timely information on the financial operations of each agency, program, and project will reap benefits for the State as a whole. This will offer improved reporting and analysis and should allow decision makers to make better decisions. Budget checking will run as a batch process in SMART. This process will be kicked off at regularly scheduled times during the work day. Budget checking occurs before transactions are posted to SMART’s general ledger. Transactions that exceed the budget will cause an error in SMART and will go into a “pending” status. Agency personnel will identify, research, and resolve budget errors identified from the online budget check status inquiries.

33. 33 Budget Checking (continued) Budget Checking Frequency –Continuing to finalize the details regarding the batch processing schedule –Currently plan to run budget check every two hours –Select agency user roles will have the ability to run budget check ad-hoc Use of ad-hoc is not best practice and should be used judiciously Budget errors are corrected two ways: –Change the accounting distribution (chartfields) on the transaction –Change the budget (including transferring budget, adding budget lines, and increasing budget amounts) Agencies are responsible for correcting any budget check or chartfield coding errors

34. 34 Budget Exceptions Appropriation Budget –Set to control –Transactions will fail for improper chart string combinations and/or exceeding the dollar amount of the appropriation or expenditure limitation Operating Budget –Track with budget will fail a transaction for improper chart string combinations or missing chartfields –Track without budget does not stop transaction processing Project Budget –Track with budget will fail a transaction for improper chart string combinations or missing chartfields –Track without budget does not stop transaction processing Agencies are responsible for correcting any chartfield coding errors, but do not have the authority to change the Appropriation Budget

35. 35 Interfunds Contact – Task ID 266 Agency Task ID 266 was sent to Agency Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Primary Contacts on 12/3/09 SOKI³ Groups will not be replicated in SMART This task must be completed if you want interfund notifications in SMART! Task ID 266 is due 12/23/09

36. 36 Interfunds Contact – Task ID 266 (continued) Contacts are used for Notifications on Interfund Transactions –If your agency does not complete this task, your agency cannot be selected as a Customer or Vendor Contact on the Interfund page when using the notify functionality at go-live Need to Identify your Agency Interfund Contacts –Your Agency as a Vendor Contact –Your Agency as a Customer Contact Allows for a dropdown list of contacts on the Interfund Page Maintenance of Contacts: –Vendor contacts – Central Responsibility –Customer contacts – Agency Responsibility
