UVM Purchasing Card Program -- What's New


This page provides an up-to-date listing of changes to the PurCard web and handy links to cool stuff, including notices about program updates and changes, scheduled training sessions, vendor information, problems and work-arounds that may affect cardholders and verifiers, and more.

 

PurCard Training - Web based training is available, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at your computer.  You will receive instructions for the training after you have applied for your card.

Increased Cycle and Transaction Limits - Effective June 1, 2006, the single transaction limit will be increased to $4,999.99.   The cycle limit will increase to $25,000.00.

Purchase Airfare on your PurCard -   Effective July 1, 2002, airfare may now be purchased with your purchasing card on the web.  Click here for details.


PurCard and PeopleSoft -
  • No more writing out transaction logs!  You will be able to print a cycle report in PeopleSoft with the cycle transaction and the description you have entered.  Staple the receipts to the Journal Report, route for signature, and route to Procurement Services.
  • There is a new PeopleSoft account (subcode in FRS) for 'PurCard Transaction.'  Each purchasing card will default to this new account, as part of its chart string.
Hotels and Transportation - Effective July 1, 2007, all hotels and remaining transportation (all car rental agencies, bus lines, trains, taxicabs, etc.) are open for use on the purchasing card.  As with airfare purchases, you will need to satisfy the IRS' Accountable Plan Rules for hotel and transportation purchases.   
Please provide the following information (either on the receipt or on the PurCard Journal report):
- name of the traveler
- destination
- business purpose of the trip.
