What is the data in the database based on?

The information pertains to postings related to accounts 4300-4940 in the JHS account listing, including service, material, supply, and goods purchases, rents, grants, and other operating expenses. (Balance sheet postings may also be variably available.)What information is included in the purchase invoice data?
The purchase invoice data includes information about the procurement unit that made the purchase, the supplier (seller), the fiscal year, and the total amount of the posting.

If necessary, we can also provide more detailed information about individual invoices.
