T & E Job Aids


  • Expense Types and Payment Types -  When creating expense transactions, it is very important to select the right combination of Expense Type and Payment Type.  Selecting the right combination allows the SMART system to generate the appropriate accounting entries.  Selecting an improper combination will result in either a positive or negative Prepaid account balance which will have to be corrected on a separate transaction. 

  • Reviewing Accounting Entries for Expense Reports - The Expense Report Accounting Entries page is a very helpful tool that provides a link between Expense Report accounting entries and the GL Journals on which they are recorded.  After expense reports have been paid and posted, users may wish to review the related accounting entries.

T & E Training Guides


  • Creating Travel Authorizations - Training Guide
    Employees, or their proxies, create travel authorizations before departing on business trips. The employees' expenses may be either regular (the employee pays for them out-of-pocket and is reimbursed later) or prepaid (paid before the travel using an agency Procurement Card, or PCard). To create a travel authorization, you need to know the traveler's State of Kansas Employee ID number, the dates the employee will travel, and the expenses the travel will incur. This training guide provides a simulation to walk you through the process of creating a travel authorization.
