Workshops: Minnesota Management and Budget will offer AMA workshops for more experienced users in April and May. Watch the SWIFT Update for more information.
Classroom Training: Introductory classroom training for AMA will be offered again in March. These instructor-led sessions cover how to enter and monitor appropriation requests in AMA until SWIFT and/or BPAS is updated. Users must have the KK Agency Jrnl Approver and/or KK Agency Jrnl Entry SWIFT role, and be responsible for entering and/or approving appropriation transactions in AMA.

Q: Can the vendor on a contract be changed?
A: Once you create a contract with a line on it, you cannot change the vendor. To use a different vendor on the contract, you will need to close or cancel the contract. Make sure to also close or cancel any purchase orders tied to it. Then, you will need to create a new contract using the desired vendor.
SWIFT classroom training is scheduled for the modules listed below. Classes are free of charge.

Most of the SWIFT classes have waiting lists. If you cannot make the class you enrolled in, drop the class in ELM or contact the trainer as soon as you are able. Also, ELM will not automatically enroll agency staff on waiting lists to the next class. You will need to enroll in the next class if it is offered.
