SMART Category Code Updates

In a continuing effort to improve user experience, the Office of Accounts & Reports has conducted a review of the default Account Code associated with existing Category Codes. SMART only allows one default Account Code to be mapped to a Category Code. Agencies must then review the default Account Code and update it if the value is not appropriate.

To ensure greater alignment between account classifications and their corresponding procurement categories, the SMART Team has updated nearly 1,000 Category Codes to change the default Account Code value. However, there will still be scenarios where multiple account codes could apply depending on the purchase, so it remains the responsibility of each agency to ensure the appropriate Account Code is used based on the specific purchase.

A small number of Category Codes, including the software series, are still under review. An announcement will follow once final updates are complete.

Please submit a Kansas Service Desk request with any questions.

Thank you,
The SMART Team
