Self-Service Banner 8 (SSB8) will be retired on October 1, 2025. This change will affect modules from HR, Student, and Finance.
For Banner Finance, the Legacy Finance Self-Service (SS8 Finance) will be removed from the Finance Resources card. As a result, the following three links will no longer be available:
- Grant Comparison Queries
- View Document
- Purchase Order (West Plains Only)
The SS9 Finance Dashboard went live in 2020, so most campus finance users should have already transitioned to SS9. If you haven’t yet, please begin using the functions available under SS9 (Finance Dashboard).
- Grant Comparison Queries
The replacement for this function is the Multi-Year Query found under My Finance Query. It provides the same functionality with minor differences in parameters. Specifically, it uses calendar years and months for queries instead of fiscal periods. For detailed instructions on using the Multi-Year Query, please visit here.
- View Document
In the legacy SS8 version, the View Document feature allowed users to see check images due to custom development by MSU’s IT team. However, in SS9, such customization is not currently feasible for the internal team. As a result, the check images will no longer be available.
That said, users can still view the check number, status, and transaction date, which indicate when a check was issued. Additionally, invoice address information can help determine where the check was mailed.
- Purchase Order
This function is only used by the West Plains campus. The details regarding its retirement have already been communicated to the relevant stakeholders at West Plains.
If you have any questions regarding this change, please feel free to contact me via email at XiaominZhou@missouristate.edu, by phone, or through Microsoft Teams.
