Note: If your User ID is associated with only one Contracting Entity, you will be unable to access the Contracting Entity Search screen. The system will always default to the Contracting Entity's data to which you are associated. This applies mainly to Contracting Entity User IDs; State User IDs are setup to access all respective Contracting Entity data.
For most system functions, you must search for and select a Contracting Entity using the Contracting Entity Search function before beginning any task. When the Contracting Entity Search screen displays, you can search for the Contracting Entity using all or part of the Contracting Entity's ID, Name, or any other combination of parameters provided on this screen.
To search for a Contracting Entity
1. On the menu bar, select Search. [If the Contracting Entity Search screen is already displayed, begin at Step 2.] The Contracting Entity Search screen displays.
2. Enter search parameters (see table for additional information on using the search parameters).
3. Select Search.
4. Select the Contracting Entity you wish to access.

TIP: The list of Contracting Entities displays based upon the search criteria entered. If no selections were made and the user selected the Search button, the list displays all SNP Contracting Entities with the designated status (default is “Active”). To display all Contracting Entities, leave all search parameters blank and select Search. |
