Banner Integration

iBuy integrates with Banner, which remains the University's financial system of records.

PO Numbers - Purchase order numbers in iBuy are generated in Banner EXCEPT when the purchase is made with an internal vendor (iBuy PO number).

Accounting Codes - iBuy users can enter full CFOAPALs or Index codes to allocate purchase costs. The codes available in iBuy will be synchronized with and validated against those available in Banner.

Encumbrances - Purchase orders created in iBuy encumber the selected funds in Banner EXCEPT when the purchase is made with an internal vendor.

Payments - University Payables processes in Banner all payments against purchase orders created in iBuy EXCEPT when the purchase is made with an internal vendor. In the latter case, the internal vendor processes a charge back to the FOAPAL(s) provided in the iBuy purchase order.

Financial Reports - Encumbrances and payments based on iBuy purchase orders appear in the standard financial reports generated out of Banner.

Ship To Addresses - Must be established in Banner to be used in iBuy.

Vendors - A vendor must be established as an e-procurement vendor in Banner to be used in iBuy. When searching on a non-catalog form, if you cannot find the vendor you are searching for, you need to submit a vendor add form.

Commodity Code - For catalog items, iBuy automatically provides commodity codes to Banner. For non-catalog items, users need to select the appropriate commodity code from the Commodity Codes [updated: 4/27/12].
