The BYU Purchasing Card is the preferred method of payment for purchases and
payments under $2,000. P-cards are issued to BYU employees who have
procurement/payment responsibilities within their departments.
P-card transactions will appear in PaymentNet within one to two days after the merchant
vendor processes the transaction. Cardholders will allocate each transaction in
PaymentNet to the appropriate general ledger chartblock. All transactions are required to
be reviewed by the cardholder and approved by a designated approver for each cutoff
period prior to the last business day of each month.
The Purchasing card is a corporate liability, corporate pay card. As such, there should
never be personal charges made with this card. Other card restrictions include:
- Transactions exceeding $2,000
- Blocked Merchant Category Codes which include gasoline, travel (airlines, car
rentals, etc), financial, high risk merchants (pawn shops, jewelry stores, gold &
coin dealers, etc)
- Independent Contractor payments, personal services or wages
