SWIFT Update May 7, 2020


Budget and Accounting Guidance for COVID-19 Funding 

 Budget and accounting guidance for state and federal COVID-19 funding was provided to agencies last Friday. This document is posted on Minnesota Management and Budget's Budget and Accounting Instructions page.
Agencies must follow the guidance to facilitate enterprise reporting on the funding available for COVID-19.

Purchase Order Close, Friday, May 15

As part of the year end clean-up activities, the PO Reconciliation (PO Close) job is scheduled to run Friday, May 15. The PO Reconciliation Job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the Status to“Complete.”

See the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips for additional information.

The PO Close job will run two additional times this year to assist in closing documents: June 30 and the hard close weekend of August 7.

Remember, you can prevent the PO Reconciliation Job from closing a purchase order by selecting the “Hold From Further Processing” checkbox on the purchase order header page. You can use this checkbox if you plan on increasing the purchase order at a later date.


Reminder: The SWIFT Help Desk Remains Open

Please contact the SWIFT Help Desk for any questions, concerns, or issues you have with SWIFT.
