<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">The
<em>Search for Combination</em> screen only displays COA combinations that have already been used on a requisition. If a valid COA has not yet been used, it won’t appear in the results, and users will see a <strong>"No Matches Found"</strong> message. This does <strong>not</strong> mean the COA is invalid—it simply has not been used before. When this happens, enter the COA directly instead of relying on the search feature.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>

<ul>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">If nothing appears, the combination may still be valid.</p>

The new matrix provides a clear status for each commodity <strong>(Allowed, Restricted, or Not Allowed)</strong>, along with guidance on the applicable purchasing method and any required steps.
