At this time, we expect to process travel reimbursements and conference registration fees during the implementation of the new Statewide Financial System (SFS) shutdown; however, two unforeseen incidents could have an impact on our plan:

1. The Office of the State Comptroller or SUNY shuts down our travel reimbursement process.
2. Fund reserves are depleted (we will not be able to replenish reserves during the shutdown).

Therefore, we ask that any outstanding travel that has been completed but not yet delivered to the Accounts Payable and Travel Services Office, Cleveland Hall 417, be done so immediately. We can still replenish funding until the shutdown period.

We also request that all authorized air and train travel bookings from now until April 18 be done through the business travel agent (BTA). When the BTA is utilized, there will be no out-of-pocket expense to the employee. Charges incurred are made directly to an authorized T-Card, which will be in effect during the entire shutdown period.

Abbreviated Procedure for Using the BTA

1. Call Albany Travel at (800) 774-0655.
2. Identify yourself as a New York State SUNY employee at Buffalo State College.
3. Make your arrangements.
4. Call the Accounts Payable and Travel Services Office at ext. 4117 (Albany Travel will contact the Travel Services Office to confirm the travel). Please do not e-mail the Travel Services Office in lieu of calling.

If you have any questions concerning the SFS shutdown, please call our office at ext. 4117.
