State University System Transition From FLAIR

Michael V. McKee, University Controller

The remaining six State Universities will discontinue use of FLAIR July 1, 2004 in accordance with Section 1011.4105, Florida Statutes.

The FLAIR Journal Transfer process normally used for payment of vouchers and transfer of funds will not be available to the six devolving universities or to state agencies doing business with them after close of business, May 28, 2004. At the University of Florida, the current process for disbursements will be changed so that a state warrant will be issued instead of a JT for the remainder of the fiscal year, to any state agency and the Universities listed below. Disbursement Services will enter a Vendor ID instead of a benefiting account for such payments. Departments should submit payments with the correct Vendor ID and remittance information as well as the payor contact name and telephone number for delivery and problem resolution.

Departments billing any of the devolving universities or state agencies after this cutoff date should ensure that invoices clearly provide the department (payee) remittance address, contact name, telephone number, and benefiting information. This will help ensure the timely receipt of these payments.
