OVERVIEW OF PROCARD PROCESS

Authorized cardholders make authorized purchases using the Procard (MasterCard) which is provided through a contract with the bank to purchase allowable small dollar (under $2,500 per transaction) goods and services for the University. The bank sends transactions made with the Procard electronically to Pathway Net, a web based administrative tool, usually within two (2) days after the card transaction has been charged by the merchant. The department reconciler has from Tuesday at Noon until the following Tuesday at Noon to review charges and change accounting codes in Pathway Net before the transactions from the previous week (M-F) roll into Banner. (See Attachment 6 for Reconciler Instructions). The information from Pathway Net is transferred to Banner to record the transactions in the University’s Financial accounting system. It’s transferred as a journal voucher regardless of budget availability.(See Attachment 9 for how Procard transactions will appear on Banner Finance). On or before the 10th of the month, the reconciler must print from Pathway Net the Cardholder Statement of Account for the previous month’s transactions and sends it to each cardholder who made purchases. The cardholder must sign the statement, attach original itemized receipts and pass it along to his/her Approving Official who reviews and approves by signing the statement. The Approving Official returns it to the Reconciler who files it away for future reference. The retention for purchasing documents for the University is 7 years. Transactions made with the Procard are billed directly by the bank to the University, even though the name of the cardholder is on the card. The University pays the bank once a month for all charges made by every cardholder. The merchants are paid by MasterCard within 48-72 hours of when the merchant gives/transmits the transaction to MasterCard. The Procurement Services Procurement Card Program Administrator will periodically review Procard records such as the statements, receipts and transaction log(s) for each cardholder. Reviews will be performed at the department location or by requested document copies sent to Procurement. This is to ensure that transaction logs are being maintained, the appropriate documentation (receipts, packing slips, etc.) is being kept, and that required approvals are obtained. UAA Internal Audit and potentially other State and Federal auditors may also review Procard records.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PROCARD AND A PERSONAL CREDIT CARD

• The University is liable for all charges made on the card before the card is reported lost or stolen to the bank.

• There is no personal liability on the card unless the Cardholder violates the terms of the Cardholder Agreement or by making a personal purchase.

• The maximum limit per transaction is $2,500. The department may request to set a lower limit for any Cardholder.

• Each card has limits which can be specified by the Department for each Cardholder.

These are (30 day) cycle dollar limits and maximum number of transactions allowed per day and per cycle.

The card belongs to the University, not the individual. When an employee terminates

their employment with the University, the Procard should be shredded or cut in pieces and a Cardholder Cancel Form submitted immediately to the UAA Program Administrator. If an employee moves to another department in the University and he/she will be using the Procard, the card should be retained by the individual and a change form submitted to the UAA Program Administrator. The new departmental address, default org/fund/account, reconciler, and approving official information will be updated when the Cardholder Change Form signed by the new Approving Official is received.

Cardholders are trained in the proper procedures for making low level purchases for their

department. They must sign an agreement holding them responsible for their actions in performing this vital University function (See Attachment 3 for Cardholder Agreement).

CARDHOLDERS RESPONSIBILITIES Departmental Procedures Cardholder must follow their existing departmental purchasing procedures when making a Procard purchase. Restricted Fund Accounts Default accounts must be UAA’s general (fund one) account. However, the funding can be changed to a grant account during the reconciliation process. For grant-funded departments, it is the individual procurement cardholder’s responsibility to ensure that grant requirements are met. If you have any questions about a purchase on a restricted fund account, contact the Grant and Contracts Department. Place the Order 1. Orders for allowable goods or services may be placed in person, by phone, by fax, by

mail or via a secure link on the Internet. Keep an electronic or manual log of purchases made. Tell merchant this is a University of Alaska purchase, is tax-exempt and should be accorded any applicable discounts

2. Give name as it appears on the card 3. Give accurate delivery information. Request that the vendor include on the outside

packaging label the following: department name; your name, department address; and phone number. See example below:

University of Alaska Anchorage Languages Department Languages Building, Room 101 Attn: Jane Doe 3211 Providence Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99508 Phone Number: (907) 786-6000

NOTE: Because we cannot track procurement card purchases in Banner Finance, as we can with items ordered via a Purchase Order, it is important that the deliveries are made directly to the department. If addressed as above, with specific buildings and room numbers, UPS, FedEx and the Post Office will be able to deliver correctly.

Page 8: PROCUREMENT CARD HANDBOOK for CARDHOLDERS, …Aug 28, 2007  · USING THIS HANDBOOK This handbook will provide you with the basic steps for using the Procard. It covers usage, compliance

4. DO NOT USE THE ADDRESS FOR CENTRAL RECEIVING. If Central receiving receives an inappropriately addressed package, they may not be able to determine the location to make the delivery and the package may be returned.

5. Make sure that the appropriate departmental personnel are aware of your purchase in case a package arrives in your absence. Also, after the package has been received, be sure you have followed all departmental procedures regarding processing, record retention/documentation requirements.

6. Request that a sales receipt be placed in package 7. Do not allow COD deliveries 8. If your transaction is declined:

• Have merchant re-enter the card number and expiration date. It may have been mis-keyed.

• The transaction may have put you over your cycle limit. Check your transaction log. • The merchant's 4-digit Merchant Category Code Group (MCCG) may be on your

card's excluded list • The transaction link between the merchant and its bank may be down. Ask the

vendor to try again later • Contact the bank's customer service department, 800-316-6056 to determine why

the transaction was declined. Billing Address

If the vendor requests the “billing address” provide them with your department address as it was listed on the cardholder application. It will never be a home address.

Receive the Goods and Obtain a Receipt

1. For purchases made in a store, this is done at time of purchase 2. For goods ordered by phone, fax, or mail, this will be done after receipt of goods in

the form of a receipt, packing slip, or order form. 3. For internet orders print the screen and/or order confirmation. 4. All receipts must contain the following information:

• Cardholder name • Vendor identification • Date purchase was made • Description of each item purchased • Per item cost if available from vendor

Certification of Unavailable Documentation For any procurement card transaction that does NOT have documentation (receipts), use the Certification of Unavailable Documentation Form (Attachment 10) demonstrating a good faith effort to obtain a receipt.

Page 9: PROCUREMENT CARD HANDBOOK for CARDHOLDERS, …Aug 28, 2007  · USING THIS HANDBOOK This handbook will provide you with the basic steps for using the Procard. It covers usage, compliance

9

Verify the Goods Received are What Was Ordered It is the cardholder’s responsibility to ensure receipt of materials and services and to follow up with the vendors to resolve any delivery problems, order discrepancies or issues with receiving damaged goods. In the case of returns, the cardholder is responsible for coordinating returns directly with the vendor, as well as securing the appropriate credit when the goods are returned. Never allow a cash refund for a returned item. Keep the return documentation with the department log sheet. Help Reconcile Transactions

• Work with your Reconciler as he/she reconciles your transactions. Notify the Reconciler of any potential disputes or account distribution changes. Only the Reconciler can change an account in the Pathway Net.

• The reconciler will print out the Cardholder Statement of Account (Rpt #121) containing all cardholder's transactions over the previous month.

• Verify all transactions are correct. Any problems should be identified to the reconciler. All backup receipts are to be kept with the Cardholder Statement of Account.

• Sign the monthly Cardholder Statement of Account. • Take Cardholder Statement of Account and backup to the Approving Official who

must sign and approve the Cardholder Statement of Account. • Forward to your reconciler the approved statement and supporting documentation.

The reconciler will file it for future reference and audit purposes. Keep Transaction Log The cardholder is responsible for maintaining a transaction log. It must be completed by each cardholder for each transaction as it is made. The log must be reconciled to the Procard Statement each billing cycle. This is a budget management tool necessary for tracking transactions that have not yet cleared the account. For record keeping purposes, one or more of the following original items need to be kept with the log to be attached to the Statement of Account at month end:

• Itemized sales receipts • Packing slips • Merchandise advertisement • Any other pertinent information related to the purchase

Important: Remove any card numbers and/or expiration dates from the retained backup

Page 10: PROCUREMENT CARD HANDBOOK for CARDHOLDERS, …Aug 28, 2007  · USING THIS HANDBOOK This handbook will provide you with the basic steps for using the Procard. It covers usage, compliance

10

The transaction log must include the following:

• Date of transaction • Vendor name • Description of purchase • Transaction amount

But may also include a column for:

• Org-Fund-Account • Journal Voucher number • Date transaction cleared Pathway Net • Other remarks

When the monthly Procard statement is printed, the Reconciler will review the statement to verify that it matches the transaction recorded in your log. Any discrepancies identified should be PROMPTLY investigated and recorded in the remarks section of the transaction log.

Please see Cardholder Agreement (Attachment 3) for further description of responsibilities.

As required: Changes in Cardholder Information • For any changes needed to be made for a specific cardholder such as default

account, location, Reconciler or Approving Official, etc., submit a Change Form (Attachment 4) signed by the Cardholder’s Approving Official indicating the change.

As required: Procurement Card Close Request • If a cardholder is leaving the University, or is transferring to an assignment where a

Procard is not necessary for their duties, submit a Close Request Form (Attachment 5) signed by the Cardholder’s Approving Official to close the account.

Record Retention The transaction logs, statements and supporting documentation MUST be maintained by the department for seven (7) years. They may be subject to University, state and federal audits. These documents are “accounts payable” documents and follow the same retention and audit standards.

See Reconciler’s Instructions (Attachment 6) for further detail.
