Operation ELM (SungardHE® Banner)
Banner is the Enterprise Information System which replaced Macalester's CARS system. The implementation of Banner took place in phases through late 2007. The Finance module was the first to go live on June 1, 2006.

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 Banner training and find out. See the 'Training Schedule' link in the blue section at the left.
You will need to know your FOAPAL if you:
- code invoices, purchase/check requisitions
- do p-card reconciliations
- prepare journal entries
- purchase from Corporate Express
- have transactions at Doc Services, Mailing Services, Media Services, College Relations, Motor Pool or Bon Appetit
