  • The university purchasing card (or P-Card) is a corporate liability Visa card issued by Bank of America.

  • The University is responsible for bill payment while cardholders and departments are responsible for managing the card.

  • P-Card may be used for business purchases in compliance with university policy.

  • A P-Card is provided to employees based on business need; it is not an entitlement nor reflective of title or position.

  • Visit the P-Card Forms page for information on requesting a P-Card.

  • If you’re new to Expense Reports visit the Best Practices page for tips and information on required documentation/attachments needed for successful submission and processing.

  • Email p2p_pcard@boisestate.edu for support with P-Cards.



Reporting on P-Card Transactions

  1. Works Reports and Roles for Managing Department P-Card Expenses
    All Works users have access to Works reports. Department staff responsible for overseeing budgets and expenses can request access to Works for running reports, viewing or editing of transactions by contacting the university P-Card administrator (or email p2p_pcard@boisestate.edu). View the Works Reports and Roles page to learn more about the reports and roles available in Works.

  2. Payables – Campus Transaction Dashboard
    Run the Payables – Campus Transaction Dashboard to view P-Card transaction details like transaction number, payment status, payment amount and funding segment string used to code the transaction. ProTip: Set the Pay Group search field to P-CARD to filter just these transactions.

    Confirm the accuracy of the funding segment string used for all P-Card transactions. If an incorrect segment string was used to code a P-Card transaction that has a transaction number, a Payables Correction must be submitted. If a P-Card correction is needed for an item that does not have a transaction number, a Journal Entry must be submitted. Visit Financial Transaction Corrections for more information.

  3. Budget vs Actuals Reports
    Run the Budget vs Actuals (BvA) Reports at least once per month to monitor department-specific financial activity for combinations of funding segment string values by fund. For more information about BvA Reporting, visit Financial Reporting.
