UAFR - Banner Fixed Asset Master Query Page (FFIMAST)
- The Banner Fixed Asset Master Query Page (FFIMAST) is a useful tool to determine any detail related to an equipment item in Banner inventory, whether the item is active or inactive.
- The FFIMAST page displays many attributes of a specific piece of equipment, such as OTag and PTag number, description of the item, original cost, purchase method, the custodian organization and location, and the C-FOAPAL lines related to the original purchase and any adjustments made to the equipment.
- The FFIMAST page provides read-only access to information and it is not possible to use this page to change any property record data directly in Banner.
