Little Time for SWIFT Training? Try Our Short Videos
Did you know that SWIFT Training team has developed several short (less than 10 minute) videos to help you complete transactions in SWIFT? Watch videos at your convenience and just in time for completing a SWIFT transaction. Here's a testimony from one of our users:
Since starting my current position at DPS, which includes a variety of accounting tasks I hadn’t done previously, I’ve relied on the SWIFT Training Videos. The videos are well-produced. They allow users to watch when schedules permit and to work at their own pace. Whether learning something new or confirming a process for a task done only once or twice a year, the SWIFT Training Videos are an invaluable tool. ~ Maureen McGough-Pose
Training videos are being updated and added regularly, and we welcome suggestions for new ones. Find them on our Training Videos webpage.

Q. If I am in the EPM Data Warehouse, can I mistakenly change the data?
A. No, for two reasons. One, the EPM Data Warehouse is a reporting tool outside of SWIFT. The EPM Data Warehouse gets SWIFT data from a one-way batch load process and is only as current as the previous business day. Two, the write-back feature is disabled in the EPM Data Warehouse. This means that you can view, arrange, and export data, but you cannot revise any of the data.

The sales and use tax rate changes apply to sales made on or after April 1, 2023. They will be in addition to all other taxes in effect. Local sales tax applies to retail sales made and taxable services provided within the local taxing area (county/city limits). The tax applies to the same items that are taxable under the Minnesota sales and use tax law.
Purchase orders entered in SWIFT on or after April 1, 2023, will calculate the new tax rates for each county/city. Existing purchase orders and/or their vouchers will need to be adjusted to pay the correct tax if delivery occurs after various dates. Please note that the dates will be different based on whether goods or construction materials are being delivered. Check the tax notice for the affected city for the correct dates.
For assistance in changing the sales tax on a purchase order, please consult the Update the Sales Tax Settings on an Existing Purchase Order quick reference guide. You can also view the Update Sales Tax on an Existing Purchase Order video.
The SWIFT Training team offers training through a variety of methods. There are SWIFT training guides and training videos, EPM training guides, webinars, labs, eLearning, and individual sessions (by request through the SWIFT Help Desk).
