For most School Nutrition Programs functions, the Sponsor must be search for and selected prior to beginning any task. When the Sponsor Search screen displays, you can search for the Sponsor using all or part of the Sponsor’s ID, Name, or any other combination of parameters provided on this screen.
On the menu toolbar, select Search to access the SNP Search Options screen.
Select Sponsor Search.
Enter search parameters.
Select Search.
Select the appropriate Sponsor.
The search parameters follow a specific set of rules which are described in the accompanying table. If the type of search is identified as “includes”, the system will search for any Sponsor that includes the parameter in any portion of the selected field. For example, if the user entered “386” in the Vendor Number parameter, the system will retrieve Sponsors with Vendor Numbers of “00386” and “01386”.
If the “Search all available Programs” checkbox is checked, the results display changes in appearance. The system will ignore all search criteria except for the Vendor Number and Sponsor Status. If no parameters are entered, the system will retrieve all Sponsors in all programs.
On the menu toolbar, select Search to access the Sponsor screen.
Perform a search to ensure that the Sponsor does not already exist in the system.
Select Add New Sponsor at the bottom of the screen results section. The Sponsor Profile screen displays.
Refer to the Sponsor Profile section.
