Kuali Financial System (KFS) is an open-source third-party software for Higher Education Accounting Management. This integration offers customers the ability to export SI Projects to Kuali, eliminating double data entry and making it easier to manage projects that were originally designed in D-Tools.

While this is not an API integration, SI Projects can be exported (from SI) to KFS by using a custom report. To use this integration, please first import the attached custom report. You will also need a KFS account to proceed.

This integration is offered without an additional charge.

Setup

1. In SI, go to Start > Reports, then open "Manage Reports."
