  2. Document Code: Enter the PO#. If uncertain, click on the ellipses to search for a PO#.Screenshot B9 FOIDOCH key block page

FYI:

Document Code Example
For a PO number, it is a letter “P” followed by 7 numbers P0012345, not PO012345 or POO12345
For a Requisition, it is letters “WR” followed by 6 numbers WR123456
For an Invoice, it can start with letters “IM”, “IC”, “IL”, etc IM123456, IC123456, IL123456, etc
For a Receiving document, it is a letter “Y” followed by 7 numbers Y0012345

3. A message may pop up to enter a query. Clear the message by clicking on the number to the right of the TOOLS menu.

You can choose to filter through the Basic Filter or the Advanced Filter. Enter search values into the applicable filter boxes.

FYI: It is recommended that during your search, the “Change Sequence” value be set as null. Otherwise the results will include the change sequence versions, which may pull up incomplete data unless one is familiar with the unconventional way Banner handles change orders to PO’s.

Basic filter:

In this filter, some filter entries may need to incorporate the wildcard (%).

Advanced filter:

In this filter, the wildcard (%) will not be necessary as there are guided descriptive selections (example: Starts With, End With, Contains, etc).
