Procurement Card Program (P-Card)
The major purpose of the Procurement Card (P-Card) Program is to reduce the amount of time spent and paperwork required when making small dollar purchases for the University. This will reduce costs in many ways, including reducing the number of purchasing orders and checks that must be printed and issued, and reducing the number of invoices that must be matched and paid.
The University has chosen to use the “per purchase” limitation as its primary tool in controlling card usage. A reasonable monthly limit is also placed on the card based on anticipated usage. However, there is no limit on the number of transactions a cardholder can make in a day or month.
