Dear ISU Employees,
The new Banner Finance brings many powerful tools that will allow us to keep track of our Finances very closely. Finance/Purchasing features in BengalWeb are provided to those with a "financial" role, including Account Directors, ReqMasters, and anyone else given lookup privileges by an Account Director.
The Finance tab features channels that:
- Graphically track budget and expense information.
- Provides detailed budget and expense information, view documents, find account and commodity codes, and more . . .
- Allow quick access to commonly used Finance and Travel forms.
- Provides PI's (Principal Investigators) with grant expiration dates.
The Purchasing tab provides channels that:
- Provides employees with contact information for Purchasing Services' friendly staff members.
- Provides links to Account Codes used to reconcile P-Card expenses (old Object Codes). Find out who buys what, look up commodity codes, find information on purchasing contracts, track orders being processed by the State of Idaho (SICOMM), and quickly access commonly used Purchasing forms.
The User's Guide to BengalWeb provides complete information on using all of the many features of the Finance & Purchasing channels found in our web portal.
