Frequently Asked Questions
- If a vendor or company requires written confirmation
that our institution is tax exempt, what is the procedure
for requesting a "Tax Exempt Form"?
If all other
avenues fail and the vendor will not accept verbal
communication, contact via phone or e-mail Visa Card
Administrator with the name of the vendor and fax number, a
copy of the form will be faxed to them with notification to
you a copy has been provided to the vendor.
- May I use the Visa Card for purchases exceeding
$5,000?
No, the limits on the p-card are $5000 per
single transaction.
- If a an erroneous charge appears on my monthly
statement, how do I reconcile the account summary after I
have notified the administrator of the disputed charge?
If an incorrect charge appears on your statement and you
have contacted the Visa Card Administrator to file a dispute
of this charge, please include it in the amount for that
month with notification that this is in error. This
erroneous amount must be included on the Visa approval form
in order to verify the total. A credit will appear on the
following month's statement and it will correct the charge
from the previous month.
- What happens when tax is charged to a purchase?
If tax is charged to a purchase, the cardholder must contact
the vendor and either submit a tax exempt form to obtain a
credit or the vendor may credit the tax immediately. Either
case the tax must be removed.
- Can I use the same Purchasing Card for several
Departmental funds?
Yes. When reconciling in WORKS,
each transaction can be charged to a separate departmental
fund. Indicate on the paper copy submitted to Procurement
Services that there were several different departmental
funds used.
