NSU and the other state institutions in South Dakota implemented a new Financial Information and Human Resource system that enables common business practices and enhance services.  Banner is a web-based integrated database for accounting, grants, purchasing, payroll and human resources.  Finance includes processes for accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, journal entries and budget development.

Faculty and staff are able to manage time reporting, leave and personal information electronically via self service.  Supervisors approve time cards and advance leave requests on-line.   Employees can access benefits information, payroll stubs, addresses, etc.. 24/7.  Payroll processes are run at the Shared Payroll Center in Brookings.

Departments are responsible for entering electronic requisitions.  The finance office scans invoices and attaches them to the electronic documents.  Payables are processed at a Shared Service Center in Brookings.  There is an electronic approval workflow to eliminate physical paperwork.  Security allows fund supervisors on-line access to their up to date financial information.  Reports are put in repositories to eliminate green bar copies. 

Banner can be accessed by logging on to SNAP.

HR/FIS system software training guides are located in SNAP.
