Can’t find the vendor you want?  We have some great news, the vendor search tool at the bottom of the Murphy Online Requisition form will assist you in finding your vendor.

Search is No Longer Case sensitive:

The vendor search at the bottom of the Murphy online requisition is no longer case sensitive.  If you enter “ama%” some of your results will be: AMARC Inc, Amana Corp, and aMaze.  You are no longer required to remember which letters were upper case and which were lower case when searching for your vendor. 

Search Includes Alternate Identifications: 

Some vendors, for example a " sole proprietor" will have the current identification (vendor name) listed in Banner as the individual's legal name.  This is necessary for tax reporting purposes.  The second address line contains the dba (doing business as) company name.  The company name will also be listed as an alternate identification, so that you will be able to find this vendor regardless of which name is used.

This will also happen if a company changes its’ name.  The previous name will remain in the database as an alternate identification so that you should be able to still find your vendor.  

If you are unable to find a vendor you have used before, please let us know, we will get back to you with assistance for obtaining the Vendor ID. 

Here are some additional search tips to help you with your vendor search. 

1. Use a broad search term.  Use the % sign (wildcard) after a part of the vendor name, or before and after part of the vendor name. 

2. Use the part of the name that is most unique.  %maze%

3. Search on a shorter part of the name.  “Flair%” instead of “Flaire Printing Company%” or “Flaire Printing Communications%” because the correct name is “Flaire Print Communications” and you would have missed it if “Flaire” was not spelled correct, if “Printing” was used instead of “Print” and if “Company” was used instead of “Communications”. 

4. Check your results carefully.  They will be  in alphabetical order.
