Historical Authorization Information

The Historical Authorization Information (ASRHIST) inquiry allows you to search for specific information related to Authorization transactions. By entering specific search criteria in the Filters section and selecting the Apply action, results of your query are then displayed in the Results tab of the page. Only final RQ, PO, IN, PR, and AUTHSRQ transactions that have an Authorization number populated are displayed on the ASRHIST page. In addition to querying the history of authorizations, you may also download the results to an excel spreadsheet using the Export > Viewable Columns, Export > Available Columns, Export All > Viewable columns or Export All > Available columns actions. Refer to the “Export Grid Results to CSV” topic in the CGI Advantage Page/Table User Guide for detailed instructions on how to export the results to a CSV file and how to use an import wizard to open the file in Microsoft Excel. You can also transition to other transactions for more information related to the authorization for which you are searching. This page is only used if the Authorization of Services (ENABLE_COMM_ASR) parameter on the Application Parameter (APPCTRL) page is set to true. By default, the Searchable flag for the ASRE record on Application Page Registration (APGS) is not checked; therefore, the page cannot be accessed via the Global Search functionality, unless that setting is changed.

This page is divided into the following areas:

After you have entered your search criteria and clicked the Apply link, the search results are displayed in a grid at the bottom of the page.

The number of records displayed on each page in the grid is limited. To view additional records in the results, click on the First, Previous, Next and Last links. You can also sort the results in the grid. Initially, records are sorted by Transaction Date (descending). Column sorts are allowed on the following fields:

  • Authorization Number

  • Transaction Commodity

  • Transaction Code

  • Transaction Department

  • Transaction Unit

  • Transaction Service From

  • Transaction Service To

  • Transaction Date

Certain transactions will not contain all data in the Results section of the page. If the transaction does not contain the data, the fields will remain blank.

Displayed Fields:

  • Transaction - This column includes the Transaction Code, Transaction Department, and Transaction ID. All transactions and referenced transactions contain a link to open the latest version of the transaction and view the transaction details. When you close the transaction, you are taken back to where you were when you left the ASRHIST page. For example, if you were on the second page of the results when the transaction link was selected, you will be taken back to the second page of the results when you close out of the transaction. If you click on a transaction link for a transaction that has been archived, an error message is received, indicating that the transaction cannot be opened.
