ProCard

This memo is to strongly encourage the use of the procard for your purchasing needs which will help our campus reduce the use of Purchase Orders, non-PO vouchers (direct), petty cash vouchers and faculty/staff reimbursements. We ask your help in informing your staff to use the procard for purchases under $5,000.

Payment by credit card is more efficient and effective. Using a procard, eliminates the sometimes time-consuming paper trail. In addition, the vendors are paid faster and it may be more accurate. If a credit is issued to your department, the funds are credited directly back to your credit card.

In the past, payment for advertising, subscriptions, memberships and utilities were handled on a non-PO voucher and routed to Accounting for processing. These items are now acceptable on the procard!

We want to encourage the use of the procard for acceptable items less than $5,000. Please consult the procard manual for a list of non-acceptable purchases (i.e. radioactive materials, alcohol, etc.).

Please call Purchasing at x1371 for a procard application. Also, please share this information with your appropriate staff. This memo is posted on the Accounting website at http://www.umkc.edu/depts/money/acct/.
