Operation ELM (SungardHE® Banner)

Banner is the Enterprise Information System which replaced Macalester's CARS system. The implementation of Banner will take place in phases through late 2007. The Finance module was the first to go live on June 1, 2006.

For more information, visit the Project Elm web-site: http://www.macalester.edu/elm/

To accomodate the new Chart of Accounts, an account structure called a FOAPAL was developed.

What's a FOAPAL? What's your FOAPAL? Sign up for Chart of Accounts Training and find out. FOAPALs are distributed during Banner Chart of Accounts training sessions. See the 'Training Schedule' link in the orange side-bar above.

You will need to know your FOAPAL if you:

  • code invoices, purchase/check requisitions
  • do PCard reconciliations
  • write up journal vouchers
  • purchase from Corporate Express
  • have transactions at Doc Services, Mailing Services, Media Services, College Relations, Motor Pool or Bon Appetit
