Vendor History Query

The Vendor History Query will allow you to view the payments, purchase orders, and checks that have been processed from your budget(s), for a particular vendor, within a designated fiscal year.

To execute a vendor history query:

• Enter the Chart of Accounts. Always J.
• Select a Fiscal Year.
• Enter the Vendor Number. If you do not know the vendor number, you can query for it by clicking on the Vendor box and performing a Vendor Information Look-up. Note: See Vendor Information Look-up directions.
• Enter the Fund, Organization and Account. Neither of these fields are required.
• Special Note: If you omit a fund, org, or account code from the parameters, you will receive query results for all codes to which you have security access. ie. If you enter only 1100, and have access to two different org codes, you will receive the payments made form both org codes in the resulted listing.
• Select a View by criteria (PO, Paid Invoices, Open Invoices, or All Invoices).
