Query
the TRANSACTION # range field by clicking on the first
FROM box and typing the Statement Number, then clicking on
the second FROM box and typing in the Item Number. Next
click on the first TO box and type the Statement Number,
then click on the second TO box and type in the Item Number,
e.g., FROM 997-1 TO 997-5.

The Transaction Number includes the Statement Number plus the Item
Number. The lower Transaction Number must be entered first. |

Query
the CARDHOLDER FROMfield by entering the cardholder's
name, e.g., %SMITH when searching for BLACKSMITH.
Note:
You can search by using wildcard e.g, %SMITH when searching for
BLACKSMITH. Wildcards, "%" and "_", can be
used. The "%" wildcard placed before the entered value,
e.g., %taples, indicates that the search should include any
values before the entered value plus the entered value, e.g., searching
on %taples can result in both Staples and Potaples
being displayed. The "%" wildcard can also be used after
the entered value. An underscore, "_", matches exactly
one character; e.g., searching on t_p can result in top and
tap being displayed.
Note:
The CARDHOLDER FROM field is used only by Approving Officials,
Procurement staff, and others who have the authority to view transactions
created by multiple cardholders. In such cases, the alphabetically
lower name should be entered in the CARDHOLDER FROM field
and the alphabetically higher name in the CARDHOLDER TO field. |
