LESSON 1 CONVERTING REQUISITION TO A PURCHASE ORDER
Page
Step 1: Purchase Order Assignment Form [FPAPOAS] (revised 01/22/04)

This form is necessary to assign a purchase order number to a requisition. All requisitions will be
automatically routed to a campus buyer code. One person at a time [at each campus] will function as the
Campus Buyer. The main responsibility of the campus buyer will be to assign purchase order
numbers to requisitions. The same person may also have the responsibility of reviewing, completing
and approving purchase orders.
1. The campus buyer will log onto Banner and access the Purchase order assignment form
[FPAPOAS]
2. Enter their campus buyer code (UNH, KSC, or PSC)
3. Perform next block
4. A listing of completed and approved requisitions will be displayed. Use the scroll bar to view all
requisitions or fetch next set from the query menu, if necessary.
5. Requisitions can be reviewed prior to assigning the purchase order number by choosing query
requisition from the options menu.
6. At UNH & PSC - Assign the same number as the requisition for the purchase order, except use
P as the first character instead of R; at KSC use NEXT for a system generated purchase
order number
o Prior to February 3, 2004, at UNH, OSR will enter subcontract requisitions without an
R and begin with ZZZ. In this case, still assign a P as the first character.
o Beginning February 3, 2004, OSR will enter subcontract requisitions using one Z, 2digit fiscal year and then a sequential number (ex. Z040001). In this case, still assign a
P as the first character.
7. When all PO#s are assigned, choose save
a. Print the screen(s) to have a listing of purchase order numbers which will be needed to input
the purchase order number in FPAPURR
b. Exit the form
Note: A query can be entered after entering the campus buyer code and performing a next block
to query for a specific requisition number.

will perform the cancellation by choosing remove twice from the record menu within the Purchase
Order Form [FPAPURR].
Cancel PO - After posting [FPAPDEL] (revised 02/05/02)
The purchase order may be canceled if it is still open and has not had any activity against it (invoices,
change orders, etc). The need to cancel a purchase order in its entirety does not occur frequently.
Generally, the wrong vendor was selected or the decision was made to cancel the order entirely. The
business unit requesting the cancellation must notify the campus purchasing office to perform this
function.

Module 4 Lesson 2 Canceling a Requisition. Purchasing should cancel the requisition in this
situation to avoid another PO number being assigned.
Page 21
(revised 10/03/03)
Close a PO Document or Commodity Use when a purchase order or commodity has been
fully/partially liquidated by invoices, but a final payment indicator was not specified. Also use when a
PO is no longer needed to relieve any encumbrance or when a commodity line has been added to a PO in
error.
Closing PO Document Close all commodity lines and enter the current encumbrance amount
for each FOAPAL line
Closing PO Commodity - If no invoices have been paid against it, close the commodity line and
adjust the FOAPAL by the full commodity amount. Otherwise if the commodity line has had
invoices paid against it, close the commodity line and adjust the FOAPAL if there was a
remaining balance.
Open a PO Document or Commodity - Use when a purchase order or commodity item has been closed
by a final invoice payment. Check Banner/Webi to see the specific commodity/invoice amount, as
FGIENCD will show the full amount liquidated (invoice amount plus remaining encumbrance balance).
If needed, enter a change order after to increase the PO above the original encumbrance amount.
Open PO Document - If the invoice was for the full PO amount, open the commodity lines and
enter $0.00 for each FOAPAL line. This will change the status of the PO to open. Otherwise, if
the invoice was for a partial amount, the PO can be opened up to the amount that was remaining
after the final payment was made.
Open PO Commodity If the commodity line was only partially liquidated by invoices, open the
commodity line and adjust the FOAPAL to open for the remaining balance. Otherwise, just open
the commodity line.
Close a Requisition Document or Commodity Generally used if a requisition is assigned a purchase

order by item rather than the whole document. A specific item may not need to be ordered and brought
forward to the PO and therefore closed at the requisition level (or if REQ contains a zero dollar
commodity line).

LESSON 5 CLAUSES
Page 28
LESSON 5 CLAUSES
(revised 11/20/01)
Clauses will be maintained by all campus purchasing offices. All purchasing offices will be notified
prior to creating a new clause or changing an existing clause. Clauses are pre-defined text that can be
inserted into a document in addition to document and item text. Generally, clauses will be used as
document text. Multiple clauses can be used on a document. Clauses will be created when a campus
purchasing office determines there is a consistent need for standard text on purchase orders. If the new
clause would be beneficial for all purchasing offices, then it will be created so it is applicable to all
campuses. The clause code field is 8 characters and the amount of text is unlimited. Assign a new
clause code by using alpha characters that attempt to describe the purpose of the clause.
Example:
Code:
Pre-defined text:
INSURANC
Prior to entry on the premises to begin work, the campus purchasing office must
be in receipt of a current Certificate of Insurance.

Page 30
LESSON 6 BUYER CODES
(revised 12/18/01)
USNH Purchasing will maintain buyer codes. Each campus will have a campus buyer code (UNH,
KSC, PSC) established in Banner, which will be used to route all requisitions to the appropriate campus
purchasing office. Individual buyers at each campus will have a buyer code. The individual buyer code
will be the 1st character of their campus and then a sequential number. Buyers who already had a buyer
code in CUFS will continue to have the same buyer code in Banner. The name of the buyer will always
start with a U, K, or P as a campus indicator for distributed printing purposes. The buyers dollar
delegation will be linked to their buyer code. A buyer with limited dollar delegation will not be able to
complete a purchase order greater than their delegation.
Examples: U2=U Denise M. Smith; K2=K James Draper III

LESSON 8 FOB CODES
Page 34
LESSON 8 FOB CODES
(revised 11/20/01)
USNH Purchasing will maintain FOB codes. FOB stands for Free on Board. FOB encompasses both
the responsibility for the cost of transportation and the point of title transfer. The phrase FOB ordinarily
determines 1) the place where delivery is required; 2) where the title will pass; and 3) whether the seller
or the buyer is to pay the transportation charges. There are standard delivery terms for a variety of
situation. The different terms define the obligation of the buyer and the seller, such as how expenses of
shipping will be met and where the risk of loss rests during the delivery process. The following are
standard FOB Codes in Banner with a short description and a detailed description:
01
02
03
04
Destination PP &
Allow
Destination PP & Add
Shipping Point PP &
Allow
Shipping Point PP &
Add
Title of ownership passes when goods are received at our dock

(Campus). Shipping/ freight charges are the responsibility of the seller.
Title of ownership passes when goods are received at our dock
(Campus). Shipping/freight charges are added upon invoicing.
Title of ownership passes at sellers dock and seller pays shipping.
Insurance liability is that of the buyer.
Title of ownership passes at the sellers dock. Shipping charges are
prepaid by the seller and added to the invoice. Insurance liability is that
of the buyer.
FOB is not a required field in Banner, but will be required as part of the purchase order process. The
code structure is 2 characters sequential, starting with 01. The code NA should be used when shipping
goods is not applicable for the type of purchase request.

LESSON 9 PO CLASS
(revised 11/20/01)
USNH Purchasing will maintain PO class codes. PO class is used to identify the type of purchase order
beyond the PO Type field, which only has values of Standing or Regular. The field is one character
and will be alpha or numerical. The code would define the type of purchase order. The field is not
required by Banner, but will be required as part of the purchase order process. By using a PO Class on
all purchase orders, purchasing will be able to generate reports on the various types of purchases.
Examples: B=Bid, C=Contract, I=Independent Contractor
Create PO Class
1. Access Purchase Order Classification Maintenance Form [FTMPCLS]
2. Assign an alpha character that attempts to describe the type of PO class or the next alpha

Page 42
Ship to codes will be maintained by all campus purchasing offices as designated below. Ship to code is
required on the requisition form [FPAREQN] and purchase order form [FPAPURR] to indicate to the
vendor where to ship goods and to whom the request is from. The ship to code will consist of 5
characters. KSC & PSC will use their current mail stop codes as the Banner ship to codes, prefaced
with their campus indicator. All others will use sequential numbers prefaced by the campus indicator.
Ship to codes will also be created for non-campus addresses as needed. When requested, each campus
will create a new ship to code using their campus alpha prefix and 4 other alpha characters as the code.

vendors and instead, check the box for All. This will allow finding a person or business
that may be in system already, just not flagged as a vendor.
5. Perform a next block and the form will be in query mode again
6. Always search by the vendors taxid (SSN/EIN) first.
7. If not found, search on a unique word in the vendors name using a wildcard (%) before and
after the unique word
a. If searching on a word such as Smith that is a unique word for the person or business,
use a C or P in the Entity column to narrow the search results for either
corporations or persons
8. If the vendor is not found, exit FTIIDEN to return to FTMVEND and create a new vendor
record as detailed below.
Note: Always use the Purchasing Data Entry Standards when entering person and non-person
records.

o When needed, link an existing vendor as an owner (1099 reporting purposes)
o Complete 1099 information if applicable
Foreign Entities (revised 05/20/04)

If a vendor indicates they are foreign on the W-9 or submits a W8, then consider the vendor foreign and
do not code 1099 reportable. If payments are reportable for a foreign vendor, a 1042S will be issued. If
a vendor has a foreign address, but does not indicate they are foreign, assume they are a US Citizen and
if a number is provided as an SSN or EIN, assume it is a US issued taxpayer ID number.
Page 56
When services are rendered in the United States, USNH must have the appropriate IRS Form W8
with a taxpayer ID number issued by the United States; otherwise verify with the USNH tax expert to
determine if the vendor will be subject to backup withholding.
Individuals - Contract your campus Travel Coordinator to verify that proper procedure has been
followed prior to setting up a vendor record. Send the IRS Form W8-ECI (Effectively
Connected Income). If they are in the process of obtaining an ITIN (International Taxpayer ID
Number) or SSN or are not required to have an ITIN/SSN, contact USNH Purchasing for a
vendor ID (interim process as individuals are entered through HUM). When the ITIN or SSN is
received, change their ID number in FOAIDEN. The ITIN or SSN will be provided on the W8ECI form.
Businesses - Send the IRS Form W8-BEN. If they are in the process of obtaining an ITIN or
EIN or are not required to have an ITIN/EIN, use NEXT for the vendor ID. When ITIN or
EIN is received, change the ID number in FOAIDEN. Generally, the ITIN or EIN will be
provided on the W8-BEN form.
Creating a Vendor Address Record (revised 08/29/02)

All campuses will provide assistance to each other when needed

o At KSC and UNH, 2 people will be responsible for creating and maintaining the vendor
file in Banner
o At PSC, one person will primarily be responsible for creating and maintaining the vendor
file in Banner but one other person will have security to FTMVEND/FOAIDEN.

Procedures (new 11/22/02)

USNH Purchasing will generate the full daily print of all purchase orders each morning. USNH
Purchasing will send email to each campus purchasing office when the print has been started. If a
second full print is needed the same day, any campus purchasing office can initiate the print and should
send email so they know to expect a batch of purchase orders. Each campus purchasing office will
initiate single prints (POs or change orders) when needed.
Any problems experienced with the print process should be reported immediately to the USNH
Purchasing Office by email or phone.
Generating PO File from Banner (new 11/22/02)

prior change order.
How Bottomline Process Affects the Purchase Order/Change Order Print Process (new 11/22/02)
If buyer code begins with a K:
PO is routed to KSC printer
Keene AP prints as invoice address
Keene State College prints as college as the 1st line of the ship to code
KSC Purchasing phone & fax print
If buyer code begins with a P:
PO is routed to PSC printer
Plymouth AP prints as invoice address
Plymouth State College prints as college as the 1st line of the ship to code
PSC Purchasing phone & fax print
If buyer code begins with a U:
PO is routed to USNH printer (Durham)
USNH AP prints as invoice address
USNH Purchasing phone & fax print
University of New Hampshire prints as college as the 1st line of the ship to code; unless
address starts with "CLL" - then College for Lifelong Learning will print - Pending
address starts with "USNH" - then University System of New Hampshire will print
The following are known exceptions and must be manually changed on the PO:
Satellite AP offices such as Facilities, Business Affairs - we have labels to put on the PO for AP
invoice address
PO's over $25K for KSC/PSC If the new buyer code (KK or PP) is used, the PO will follow
the normal procedure above for the appropriate campus, but will have the name of the USNH
Purchasing Director. Forward the PO by fax to USNH Purchasing for signature and then it will
be returned to the campus for distribution to the vendor. Otherwise, if the old code (U2) is used,
this will print information for the buyer code U as stated above. USNH Purchasing will change
the information as necessary, sign and forward to the appropriate campus for distribution to the
vendor.
Page 69
Ship to Code K2102 is for UNH Nursing at KSC and is used by UNH and a UNH buyer
approves PO's. This causes the college "UNH" to print, but the rest of the address is for KSC
and should be manually changed.
The 'attention to' field cuts off 6 characters because "ATTN: " prints automatically and thus takes
the place of characters a user may type in Banner
Only 39 characters for vendor name prints although Banner allows up to 60 characters when
creating a vendor - if you see one that doesn't look good where it's cut off, contact your campus
purchasing staff member responsible for vendor codes so it can be changed to break more
appropriately
The following are additional items currently in place regarding PO printing:

Suppress the vendor ID
For standing orders, suppress the UOM
Suppress "Total taxes"
Suppress the order date field - can be back dated (generally for confirming orders) - use
"Confirming-do not duplicate" on PO's to convey this instead
Insert current date as the date on PO's - the transaction date isn't part of the Banner PO output
file
Insert "Total" before the grand total amount
PO Distribution Process After PO Print (Force prints or full prints)
Review POs for AP labels review sheet that details what characters in the PO number
designates a 5th level BSC (does their own AP processing rather than USNH AP)
Give POs to agents to sign
When signed, review for fax notations, special instructions, insurance requirements (no bid
number), etc. If insurance is required and the PO states the vendor needs to send to us, make a
photocopy of the PO and follow up for receipt in a week.
Fax or mail the POs as specified.
Review POs for mailing for a foreign address. If yes, insert in an envelope and put a sticky note
on the outside of the envelope stating Extra Postage, otherwise the PO will be returned to us
for insufficient postage.

Appendix B Purchasing Data Entry Standards
Purchasing Data Entry Standards

(revised 12/14/01)
The purpose of this document is to insure that data is accurately entered into Banner thereby assisting
with the production of suitable mailing materials and readable reports and documents. Therefore, it is
not only essential that these standards be followed to maintain the integrity of the data entered but also
to guarantee that once entered, searched records can be found. (Always perform a detailed search for
name/title and ID variations in the database to insure that a record does not already exist before a new
one is entered.)
Non-Person Names
Use upper and lower case letters. Each word should begin with an upper case letter. [Note: Do not use
upper case for the following unless it is the first word: of, and, the, in, etc.] If the title is an acronym,
enter in all upper case. Use punctuation when it is part of the name. If additional information needs to
be added to a name to facilitate searching, use a hyphen with a space before and after the hyphen. Avoid
abbreviating unless it is necessary due to the length of the field. To facilitate searching, abbreviate nonkey words.
Punctuation in Business Name
AT&T
Andys Auto Repair
Choo-Chew Cafe
Punctuation not used in Business Name

Holiday Inn Portsmouth
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Computer Discount Warehouse CDW
The main principle to follow when entering a non-person name is to enter the name as it appears on their
letterhead, invoice, or official documentation.
Use the following standard abbreviations when necessary:

Titles/Descriptions in Validation Tables

All of the above rules apply. Examples of validation tables with titles/descriptions include the Ship to
Maintenance Form [FTMSHIP] and PO Class [FTMPCLS].
Page 72
Person Names
Use upper and lower case letters. Use proper punctuation and capitalization as provided.
Last Name
If a last name is provided with the first letter lower case, enter in Banner using upper case. This
exception is needed to maintain consistency of all words beginning with an upper case letter. If
a last name contains other upper case letters, enter in Banner as provided.
Name Provided
d'Angelo
OConner
Enter in Banner
D'Angelo
OConner NOT Oconner
Use a HYPHEN with no spaces for hyphenated last names.

Example:
Webber-Smith
First Name
Double first names should be entered entirely in the first name field.
Use spaces and/or hyphens between the two names as provided.
Examples:
Mary Jo
Mary-Jo
MaryJo
First names using the first initial and middle name should be entered entirely in the first name
field, using a period and a space.
Example:
R. Maureen
[Note: In the example above, the addressee would appear as Dear R. Maureen as appropriate if
entered as indicated. Entering only the initial, as the first name and the full second name in the
middle name field would result in Dear R when extracting the name for word processing
purposes. In addition, since most Banner forms display individuals names as first name first, for
viewing accuracy it is important to input what the person considers their first name].
Middle Names
If entering only an initial, do NOT use punctuation [Note: Word processing programs will add
the needed period after the initial].
Prefixes/Suffixes
Prefixes and/or suffixes should NOT be coded in the first, middle, or
last name fields. Use the prefix or suffix field in FOAIDEN to code this data.
Page 73
Use proper punctuation and capitalization where applicable.

Prefix Examples:
Mr.
Miss
Ms.
Mrs.
Most Rev.
Capt.
Fr.
Dr.
Bro.
Col.
Suffix Examples:
Sr.
III
Jr.
M.D.
Ph.D.
Esq.
D.D.S
D.V.M.
C.P.A.
R.N.
Addresses (revised 8/29/02)

Use upper and lower case. Avoid using punctuation unless it is necessary.
Symbols
DO NOT use the pound (#) sign to designate number in an address. Use No. if you cannot use Apt.,
RFD, etc. The use of symbols may result in errors or inconsistencies when the data is used in
other programs.
PO Box/Physical Address
The physical street address should always be entered on an address line after other address information
such as suite numbers, building name, etc. Create two (2) separate address records if a PO box and
physical address is provided. Two addresses are needed because a PO Box may be located in a different
town or state than the physical address. Acceptable physical address includes Fire or Lot number, RR &
HC numbers.
Page 74
Address Types (08/29/02)

PM [permanent address] The PM address type is used for PERSON records to identify the address
where a person can be reached. Generally, this will be the person's 'home' address; for persons doing
business with USNH, it will also serve as the primary contact address.
BU [business address] The BU address is used for PERSON & NON-PERSON vendor records to
identify the primary contact address for a non-person/business entity. Generally will be used for
correspondence and purchase orders.
RM [remit address] The RM address type is used for PERSON & NON-PERSON vendor records to
identify the appropriate address to be used to send payments.
Phone Types
Enter the same value for phone type as used for the address. The following additional phone types are
available when more applicable:
UP (pager number assigned to a USNH provided pager)
VP (pager number of a vendor)
Responsible person/office for address types: (12/11/02)

Campus Purchasing Offices own the BU & RM address types. Purchasing is the only authorized office
to create or change address records using these codes. If purchasing has a need to setup a campus
formatted address, use BU or RM as the code, but use the special zip codes setup for campus mailing
purposes. Purchasing was initially using PM for individuals who were only entered in HUM as vendors.
If purchasing has a change of address in this instance, purchasing should create a BU or RM with the
new address and the new address should be set as the default for PO/AP. The PM address will need to
remain in Banner, as activity would have likely been transacted. The PM address cannot be inactivated
in Banner.
Campus HR owns the CM, PM, CK, W2 address types. HR is the only authorized office to create or
change address records using these codes. If an individual is being setup as a vendor and has any of
these address types, Purchasing needs to contact the appropriate campus HR office to verify the
individuals' status as an employee or student. This is necessary in order to determine if the individual
should be flagged 1099 and who should be maintaining address information. If the person is not a
current employee/student, add text in FTMVEND (ex. 12/10/02-per UNH HR, not currently an
employee. dls). Use "IN" as the vendor type. Otherwise, code as "EM" or "ST" as appropriate.
Page 75
Purchasing cannot inactive an address record of CM, PM, CK, or W2 address type. If the person is
currently an employee or student and the existing HR address information is incorrect, the change must
be made by HR rather than Purchasing creating a new address using BU or RM. If additional addresses
are needed for other reasons, then Purchasing can create new addresses as needed.
OSR owns the BI address type. OSR is the only authorized office to create or change address records
using this code.
Any office/user can use any existing address record regardless of the address type on transactions or as
defaults when the address itself is correct for their needs. The ownership lies in who can create or
change an address based on the address code. For example, if Purchasing flags an existing company or
person as a vendor who already has a BI or PM address that is valid, Purchasing does not need to create
the same address using a BU or RM address type. The existing address can be used. Any changes must
go through the office that owns the address code.

Appendix C Creating & Changing Vendor Codes Procedure
Creating or Changing a Vendor Code

Purpose
USNH recommends that a vendor code be required for all companies or individuals conducting business
with USNH, regardless of the payment amount. Vendor codes are created to gather information about a
company or individual necessary to facilitate purchases and payments (e.g., addresses, contacts,
payment terms, type of business). A vendor code provides the ability to do research, reports, and ensure
compliance for state and federal reporting requirements.
In some instances, a vendor code may not be required. For more information, see Direct Pay Invoice
No Vendor Code. [link to document]
Vendor codes will be created & maintained by each campus purchasing office. Person records will be
created by HR and loaded into the Banner finance instance through a nightly feed until HR goes live in
July 2003. The campus purchasing office will then mark the person record as a vendor.
All USNH employees (including student employees) will automatically be loaded into Banner through a
nightly feed from HUM until HR goes live in July 2003. Certain employee classifications will be
automatically be tagged and set-up as a vendor. For other employees, an email must be sent to
purchasing to request that an employee be setup as a vendor.
Code Structure
Taxpayer identification number (TIN) will be used as the vendor code. For all persons, this will be a
social security number (SSN). For all companies, this will be an employer identification number (EIN).
Foreign companies may require an auto-generated number and the vendor code and will begin with an
@ sign. It may be necessary for certain foreign individuals to obtain an individual taxpayer
identification number (ITIN) or SSN in which case this number would be used as the vendor code.
Otherwise, USNH Purchasing will assign a unique tracking number.
Requesting a new vendor code
It is assumed that prior to requesting a vendor code, the user has verified that the purchase could not
have been made using the USNH Pcard or convenience check. Always check the vendor table
(FTIIDEN/FTMVEND) to determine if a vendor code exists.
An email request is acceptable for the following vendor requests:
Reimbursement to non-employee who will not have an ongoing relationship with USNH (include
SSN, name and address)
Adding an address for an existing vendor (include current Banner ID and the address needed)
Vendor existed in CUFS, but is not in Banner (Include the CUFS vendor code and any changes to
the information; otherwise purchasing will create the vendor with the information from CUFS)
Person or company is in Banner, but not flagged as a vendor (include Banner ID and address
needed)
USNH Students not already in Banner (include SSN, name and address)
Page 77
Appendix C Creating & Changing Vendor Codes Procedure
The IRS requires that a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number, be on file for any
company or individual who receives a Form 1099Misc. USNH uses a Substitute W-9 Form to satisfy
this requirement and to solicit the information necessary to establish a vendor code (i.e., small business,
women owned, minority owned, corporations, etc.).
The business unit should access the Substitute W-9 form from the USNH Purchasing web site
[http://www.unh.edu/purchasing/purchforms.html] and complete the Requester section. The business
unit then forwards the form to the vendor. The vendor completes the form and returns it as indicated by
the business unit on the form. If received by the business unit, they will forward to the appropriate
campus purchasing office for processing. Purchasing will review the information for accuracy and when
all information is in good order, a vendor code will be created. Purchasing will notify the business unit
when the vendor code has been created.
Request a change to an existing vendor code
Documentation to support all changes to existing vendor codes should be forwarded to the appropriate
campus purchasing office (e.g., invoice, email, letterhead, registration form). Documentation should
include a note regarding the change needed and contact information for the person requesting the
change. The requestor will be notified when the change has been made. Common changes include:
change of address, new address, new contact person, phone/fax numbers, and corrections (spelling, typo,
etc).
Name changes: Contact the appropriate campus purchasing office for assistance with all name changes.
These types of changes require research to ensure that the business entity is properly represented
in the vendor file.
(In some instances, a change may require a new Substitute W-9 form be completed)
Substitute W-9 Form
Each campus purchasing office is responsible for maintaining a file copy of the completed Substitute W9 form.
