			<title>INF01 Outbound Vendor Interface File from Wednesday, April 23 2025 SMART Nightly Batch</title>
			<link>http://smartweb.ks.gov/news/inf01-outbound-vendor-interface-file-from-wednesday-april-23-2025-smart-nightly-batch</link>
			<guid>http://smartweb.ks.gov/news/inf01-outbound-vendor-interface-file-from-wednesday-april-23-2025-smart-nightly-batch</guid>
			<pubDate>Thu, 24 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;The INF01, Outbound Vendor Interface, created in the Wednesday, April 23, 2025 SMART nightly batch was delayed due to issues with the file transfer from SMART to the Mainframe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The INF01 has been placed on the mainframe as of about 11:50 a.m. today, Thursday, April 24, 2025. The file name is &lt;strong&gt;DA.GBSMRT.AP01.D250423.T201156.OUT&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Any other files you may have seen with additional characters in the file name should not be used.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please share this information with your agency&amp;rsquo;s technical staff. There may be instances where automated agency processes failed or otherwise did not run properly if they tried to run and the file could not be located.&amp;nbsp; Otherwise, the agency could miss updates to supplier records in agency systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The SMART Team&lt;/p&gt;</description>
