Is terminating a FOAPAL code in Banner difficult?
A. Yes, terminating FOAPAL codes in Banner is very complicated because Banner is an integrated system. For example, if we terminate a FOAPAL code that is used on a Banner Accounts Receivable Detail Code, then the Accounts Receivable feed to the General Ledger will not post. Even though only one of the FOAPAL codes might be invalid, the entire GL feed from AR will not post until it is corrected. Because FOAPAL codes are used in many Banner related systems, we must first ensure that terminating it won’t cause a problem in another area.
