- hhmmsss is the submission time (24 hour military time with seconds), and

Document Numbers
A unique document number must identify each document in Banner. External feeder document numbers have the following format: PPNNNNNN
PP is unique 2-character code assign to each unit submitting feeders NNNNNN is a sequential number
The Banner process creates a unique document number for each document based on the System ID. This ensures that no duplicate document numbers are submitted to Banner for posting. It is highly recommended that users allow Banner to assign document numbers. Units that wish to produce their own document numbers are required to generate a unique number for each document. Duplicate document numbers are rejected during the Banner processing.
