Voucher Clean-Up Reminder
In preparation for the upcoming hard close, agencies should ensure all transactions are fully processed in SWIFT. To help identify unprocessed transactions in Accounts Payable, agencies can run the queries below:
For Accounts Payable, agencies can run the M_AP_GBL_EXCEPTION query to see a complete list of vouchers with exceptions. Throughout the year, we recommend running this query for the entire current fiscal year and include past fiscal years. For previous fiscal years, it can be harder to clean up these vouchers due to closed accounting periods. If that is the case, please contact the SWIFT Help Desk for assistance.
To assist with voucher maintenance, there are several queries agencies can run:
Hard close is scheduled for August 16, 2024. This is the deadline for processing most BFY 2024 transactions. Review denied vouchers or unposted journal vouchers which can still have valid budget status. Denied vouchers should be corrected, closed, or deleted. Journal vouchers that have been unposted must be reposted.
Please see the Accounts Payable Quick Reference Guides for helpful information on deleting and closing vouchers in SWIFT.
FY24 Requisitions: Close or Modify if not Awarded by June 30, 2024
Review your open requisitions to prepare for the year-end close. Each buyer is responsible to make sure that their agency's requisitions are properly completed by the fiscal year-end. SWIFT Support staff will no longer review requisitions or contact buyers about their requisitions for fiscal year-end. SWIFT Support staff will close requisitions with pre-encumbrance balances as of July 1, 2024.
If your agency has requisitions using non-continuing funds that you will not award by June 30, cancel them or change the funding to reflect the new budget year. If your agency has requisition lines tied to a pending event in the Sourcing module, you must first cancel the event or close the event line before you can close or change the requisition line.
To locate requisitions with pre-encumbrance balances, buyers should run the Encumbrance Certification Report.
Navigate to the Encumbrance Certification Report: Navbar, Navigator, SWIFT, Purchasing, Reports, Encumbrance Certification Rpt. Enter a Run Control ID and then enter your Report Request Parameters to run the report in SWIFT.
Please see the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips guide on Minnesota Management and Budget's website for help with the year-end close.
