| STEP |
ACTION |
| 1 |
Click
on Cardholder from the Main Menu. A drop-down box appears. Click
on View Transactions. The Define Query Criteria (BC-604) window
appears.
 |
| 2 |
Select one or more of the following fields to query on:
- TRANSACTION
#
- CARDHOLDER
(NAME)

PURCHASED

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)
Note: The Transaction Number includes the Statement Number plus
the Item Number. The lower Transaction Number must be entered first. |
| 4 |
Query
the CARDHOLDER field 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, and others with 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 higher
name in the CARDHOLDER TO field. |
