P-Card Purchases

All purchases made with the P-Card must be approved in advance by submitting an authorized Purchase Request to Procurement. Please return original receipts and P-Card. A transaction form will be completed and forwarded to you for signature.

 

Petty Cash

All petty cash expenditures must be approved in advance. Download and complete a Petty Cash Preapproval form, obtain authorized signatures and submit the form to Procurement. If the purchase was made with your own funds and sales tax was charged, you will not be reimbursed for sales tax. Original receipts are required for reimbursement.

Petty Cash Preapproval

 

You will be provided with:

• the tax exempt form that you present when buying so the department isn’t charged tax.
• the P-Card (or you will be advised to make your own purchase and get reimbursed).
