The SMART Finance Package

Wayne RESA has completed the final finance modules for the SMART FINANCE Program.

All but two CDOT districts have converted from WISE Finance & SMART to ONLY using SMART F/T as their Finance Package. Besides the easy-to-use interface and new functionality, a new report writer will be introduced in the near future. Until then, your data analyzers in TSO will STILL be available! TSO has not gone away. For those that are 'SMART' instead of 'WISE', SMART is real-time and the Host is a day behind. However, districts can update the Host to get 'real-time' data on TSO reports in just a matter of seconds!

Is your district using SMART on a regular basis? Did you know you can currently do the following tasks by using SMART instead of WISE/TSO?

~ Prepaid Checks:

Instead of keying your type-written check information into a Prepaid Check task in WISE, go into SMART, Accounts Payable Checks, Prepaid, and type your information there. You can then 'print' your checks through the check module, and they will look exactly like the checks you print in a regular check run. Once printed, you can send the file to the host to be processed into the General Ledger! This is extremely helpful during the summer months when you need to pay bills, but don't want them to hit the fiscal year that just ended.

~ Cash Receipts

You can key Cash Receipts in the new A/R-Billing-Cash Receipts Module of SMART

~ Electronic Requisition Module

Electronically approve requisitions for PO creation using the SMART Electronic Requisition Module - this can be done starting at the building level if the district wants to distribute it that way

~ Budget Module

You can use this module to prepare your original budget, budget revisions, or your forecase budget! You can import your Budget file from an Excel Spreadsheet.

~ Distribute the SMART Program to the Buildings

You can allow access to your building principals, etc., to view their general ledger activity! District must use Responsibility Codes in order to give specific clearance to the building personnel.

~ Accounts Payable Checks

Process multiple check runs using multiple checking accounts with the SAME check date - this is done in the new Accounts Payable Module of the SMART FINANCE package.
