The Annual Budget and Accounting Instructions - Document 3 is now posted on the SWIFT Budget and Accounting Instructions page. The current year document is posted under Establishing Budget Fiscal Years 2022-23 Budgets and Closing Fiscal Year 2021.
Please make sure to pay any open/unpaid FY21 statewide indirect costs invoices and/or statewide special billing invoices by hard close, August 20. Please make sure to use an Accounting Date of 6/30/2021 or prior when paying these invoices. The invoices do not include the federal portion as this is paid separately.

Q. How are changes or updates to supplier information made?
A. Both agency users and suppliers can make address and contact updates. Most often, it is the buyers who interact with the suppliers that make these changes. Download the Request Changes or Updates to Supplier Information Quick Reference Guide to learn how, when and why to make changes. The Vendor Support team is available for questions by emailing them at vendor.mmbefax@state.mn.us. Suppliers can update their information in the Supplier Portal.
