Interfunds (SOKI) and Interfund processing in SMART
Lesson 1: Understanding Interfund Processing
Key Terms Interfund – The expense and revenue transactions between and within
state agencies
Initiating – The beginning or first of two transactions that make up an
Interfund
Reciprocating – The responding or second of two transactions that make
up an Interfund
Deposit Types – A category that describes the nature of the deposit
transaction
I (Initiating) – Use this deposit type when there is not a matching
voucher. This deposit is the first transaction for the Interfund.
R (Reciprocating) – Use this deposit type when a matching voucher
with origin “I” exists. This deposit is the second transaction for the
Interfund.
Lesson 1: Understanding Interfund Processing
Key Terms Voucher Origin – A value used to identify the source of a voucher. In this
case, the source is Interfund transactions.
I (Initiating) – This origin is used when there is not a matching deposit.
This voucher is the first transaction for the Interfund.
R (Reciprocating) –This origin is used when a matching deposit with
deposit type “I” exists. This voucher is the second transaction for the
Interfund.

Interfund Processing RolesType Description
AR Interfund Processor
This role will be responsible for entering and updating Interfund deposits, correcting Interfund deposit errors, and managing Interfund comments. This role will also delete the deposit associated with an Interfund transaction, as needed, but not the Interfund transaction record.
AR Interfund Approver
This role will be responsible for approving Interfund deposits. This role will also delete Interfund transaction records, as needed, after the corresponding transactions (deposit and voucher) have been deleted.
AP Interfund Processor
This role will be responsible for entering and updating Interfund vouchers, correcting Interfund voucher errors, and managing Interfund comments.
AP Interfund Approver
This role will be responsible for approving Interfund vouchers. This role will also delete Interfund transaction records, as needed, after the corresponding transactions (deposit and voucher) have been deleted.

Process Changes
Lesson 1: Understanding Interfund Processing
The Division of Accounts and Reports (A&R) does not need to approve
Interfund transactions. A&R audits Interfund transaction after completion.
Interfund vouchers are released through pay cycle processing without the
need for a check or electronic file
To place an order in SMART, initiate voucher side of Interfund and include
notes in the comments section
In SMART, each side of an Interfund transaction is visible on the Interfund
page to both Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable when it is entered.
In SOKI, the transactions needed to be released before both sides could
view the entire Interfund transaction.

Deleting Interfunds
The Interfund transaction can only be deleted after both the deposit and
voucher have been removed from the Interfund transaction.
Remove the Interfund deposit from the Interfund transaction. This
can be done by an AR Interfund Processor or an AR Interfund
Approver.
Remove the Interfund voucher from the Interfund transaction. This
can be done by an AP Interfund Processor or an AR Interfund
Approver.
You should also delete/cancel the deposit and voucher records from
the voucher and deposit pages, as necessary
Only an AP Interfund Approver or an AR Interfund Approver should
delete the Interfund transaction record

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Notify agencies and individuals about an Interfund transaction
Identify and resolve Interfund errors
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Approving Interfunds
Interfund Approvers are notified by Interfund Processor when an
Interfund deposit or voucher is ready for approval. Notifications can
occur by:
o A manual process that occurs outside of SMART (For example,
agency email or phone call)
o The Notify button and manually adding the AR Interfund Approver’s
email in the To: or CC: lines on the Send Notification page
Interfund Approvers access the Interfund page, review the details of the
Interfund transaction, and verify that the amount of the deposit is
accurate
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Approving Interfunds (cont.)
Interfund Approvers select the Approved radio button in the Interfund
Approval section of the Interfund page and save the changes. This
approves the Interfund deposit or voucher for the Interfund transaction.
o If this is the first of two approvals, SMART does not require the
Interfund voucher to be added or for the voucher and deposit
amount to match, but you will receive a warning message.
o If this is the second of two approvals, SMART requires the Interfund
voucher to be approved and for the voucher and deposit amount to
match. You will not be able to save the approval if the amounts do
not match.

We will now complete a walkthrough using a UPK simulation: Approving Interfund
Deposits.

Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Sending Interfund Notifications
Use the Contact Information link to lookup and select the desired
contact(s) for deposit and voucher Interfund notifications
Contact information for notifications is set up on the vendor and customer
pages
Each customer/vendor can have multiple contacts
o Use the Select checkboxes on the Contact Information page to
choose one or more contacts to receive the Interfund notification.
The email address for the contact can be an individual or generic
address (distribution list).
o Selected contact email addresses are automatically populated into
the To: field on the Send Notification page. Open this page by
clicking the Notify button on the Interfund Details page.
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Sending Interfund Notifications (cont.)
When required, you can manually add additional emails to the Interfund
notification using the To: and CC: fields on the Send Notification page.
Separate emails using a semicolon (;). For example:
To: [email protected];[email protected];[email protected]
Note: Email addresses are not validated in SMART or Microsoft Outlook.
Customers are maintained by each agency while vendors are maintained
centrally. Therefore, agencies can update customer contact information
but must contact Central to request updates to vendor contact
information.
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
We will now complete Activity 12: Sending Interfund Notifications in your Activity
Guide.
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Handling Interfund Errors - Vouchers
If voucher budget check status = Error (E), Interfund voucher corrections
must be performed before processing can continue
When making updates to an Interfund voucher, the approval status on
the Interfund page must be “Not Approved”
Changes to the Interfund voucher are made on the voucher transaction
pages, not the Interfund page. The “Update” link on the Interfund page
takes you to the linked voucher transaction.
After updating and saving the changes to the Interfund voucher, the AP
Interfund Approver must reapprove the Interfund transaction before
voucher budget check can run again and Interfund processing can
continue
Lesson 4: Approving and Managing Interfunds
Handling Interfund Errors - Deposits
When making updates to an Interfund deposit, the approval status on the
Interfund page must be “Not Approved”
Changes to the Interfund deposit are made on the deposit transaction
pages, not the Interfund page. The “Update” link on the Interfund page
takes you to the linked deposit transaction.
After updating and saving the changes to the Interfund deposit, the AR
Interfund Approver must reapprove the Interfund transaction before
Interfund processing can continue
