Cardholder Information
Instructions for Cardholders
The individual Cardholder and/or delegated Responsible Person for a Department/Nameless card will be responsible for:
- Following all University purchasing policies
- Reconciling each transaction in Workday by the end of the month. Charges that post to your account after the last day of the month can be put on next month's expense report.
- Obtaining a receipt for each transaction
- All receipts must be itemized
- If a receipt is missing and cannot be obtained after the transaction, a Missing Receipt Form must be filled out and attached to the transaction in Workday
- Documenting a valid business purpose in Workday
- Using a Sign In/Out Log for Department/Nameless cards
- Reporting any fraud to Fifth Third
Tax Exemption
When placing an order, please remind the merchant that GVSU is tax exempt and that an itemized receipt is required. Please submit a Missing Receipt Form with the transaction in Workday if you are not able to obtain an itemized receipt.
Receipts
Please retain itemized receipts for all transactions made with your GVSU issued p-card. Make sure to complete a Missing Receipt Form and attach it to the transaction in Workday if you are not able to obtain an itemized receipt for an expenditure. While this form does not excuse the violation, it does provide necessary documentation of the transaction for our auditors.
Restrictions
the GVSU Purchasing Card Policy prohibits gift cards and gift certificates from being purchased with a GVSU issued p-card. Failure to act in accordance with this policy may result in the loss of your card privileges.
Cardholder Training
Training is required for all new cardholders.
