OVERVIEW OF PROCARD PROCESS
Authorized cardholder makes a purchase/
return with their ProCard for goods/services
for the University and retains receipt/invoice.
Cardholder transaction data uploads nightly
to PaymentNet4, a web-based
administrative tool. Transactions posted
within two business days after the
transaction is processed by the merchant.
Reconciler uses PaymentNet4 to review,
make accounting changes, and adds notes
as needed This review, for the previous
week’s (F-Th) activity, must be completed
by noon of each Tuesday. It is vital to
complete necessary changes before the
deadline to avoid the need to submit a JV
to correct accounting information.
The process to transfer data from
PaymentNet4 to Banner starts at noon on
Tuesday. This process is called Banner
Mapping. It is done by JV and will post
regardless of the department’s budget
availability.
By the 10th of each month, the
Reconciler prints all of the Cardholder
Statement of Accounts for the previous
month’s transactions and attaches
backup (invoices, receipts, emails etc.) to
Statement.
Cardholder reviews, signs and dates
Statement then submits to his/her
Approving Official.
Within 45 days of the end of the
Statement period, the Approving Official
reviews and approves each Statement
and returns to Reconciler.
Reconciler adds Statement to
cardholder’s ProCard file and retains it for
7 years.
Monthly, the University receives and pays a system wide master bill that includes all charges made by every
cardholder. Merchants are paid by MasterCard within 48-72 hours of transaction transmittal to MasterCard.
The UAA ProCard Program Administrator will periodically audit ProCard records such as the statements, re-
ceipts and transaction log(s) for each cardholder. Audits will be performed at the department location or by
requested document copies be sent to Procurement. This audit is to ensure that the appropriate documenta-
tion (receipts, packing slips, etc.) is kept, policies and procedures are followed, and required approvals are
obtained. UAA, Internal Audit, State and Federal auditors may also review ProCard records.
6
The University is liable for all charges made on the card before the card is reported lost
or stolen to the bank.
There is no personal liability on the card unless the Cardholder
violates the terms of the Cardholder Agreement or makes a
personal purchase.
The default limit per transaction is $2,500 and the maximum
limit per transaction is $5,000. Limits above $2,500 must
include a fiscal officer signature on the application and
justification for the higher limit.
The Department specifies limits for each Cardholder. These include (30 day) cycle
dollar limits and maximum number of transactions allowed per day and per cycle.
The department may request to set lower than default limits. The cycle runs from
the 16th of the month through the 15th of the next month. If the 16th falls on a
weekend or holiday, the cycle will begin on the next business day.
The card belongs to the University, not the individual. When an employee
terminates their employment with the University, the ProCard must be destroyed
and a Close Form submitted immediately to the UAA ProCard Administrator. If an
employee moves to another department in the University and will continue to use
the ProCard, the card should be retained by the individual and a Change Form
submitted to the UAA ProCard Administrator. The new departmental name, address,
phone number, default org/fund/account, Reconciler, and Approving Official
information will be updated when the Change Form and a new, signed Approving
Official Agreement are received.
Cardholders are trained in the proper procedures for making low level purchases for
their department. They must sign an agreement holding them responsible for their
actions in performing this vital University function (See Attachment 3 for Cardholder
Agreement).
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PROCARD AND A
PERSONAL CARD

Order Placement
Following existing departmental purchasing procedures, purchase allowable goods or services inperson, by phone, by fax, by mail or via a secure link on the Internet. If the purchase is fundedby a grant account, the cardholder must ensure the grant requirements are being met. Contactthe Office of Sponsored Programs with questions about grant purchases.
Tell merchant this is a University of Alaska purchase, is tax-exempt within the State of Alaska andshould be accorded any applicable discounts (education, higher education, government, etc.).
Give name as it appears on the card. Give billing address it was listed on the cardholder application or as recorded in PaymentNet4. It
will never be a home address. Give accurate delivery information. Request that the vendor include on the outside packaging
label the following information: department name; your name, department address; and phonenumber. See example below:
UAA Languages Department Attn: Jane Doe 3211 Providence Drive, SSB101 Anchorage, Alaska 99508 Phone Number: (907) 786-XXXX
NOTE: Procurement card purchases cannot be tracked in Banner Finance, as items ordered via a Purchase Order can, it is important that the deliveries are made directly to the department. If addressed as above, with specific buildings and room numbers, UPS, FedEx and the Post Office will be able to deliver correctly. Off campus locations should use their physical address. DO NOT USE THE ADDRESS FOR CENTRAL RECEIVING. If Central Receiving receives an inappropriately addressed package, they may not be able to determine the location to make the delivery and the package may be returned
Make sure that the appropriate departmental personnel are aware of your purchase in case apackage arrives in your absence. After the package is received, follow all departmentalprocedures regarding processing, record retention/documentation requirements.
Request that a sales receipt be placed in package. Do not allow COD deliveries. If your transaction is declined, check PaymentNet4 for the decline reason. Transactions that do
not appear were not declined by our bank and the decline is between the merchant and theirprocessor. Transactions can be declined for any of the following reason: Bad card number, invalid expiration date or CVC code. One of these may have been entered
incorrectly. Ask the vendor to try again. You are over your single transaction limit or cycle limit. Check your transaction log. The merchant's 4-digit Merchant Category Code (MCC) may be on your card's excluded list.
Contact the ProCard Administrator for assistance to process this purchase. Decline reports are reviewed daily for attempted fraud and obvious transaction issues. The ProCard Administrator may contact you with questions or information about purchases on this report. Record the purchase in your ProCard Log
CARDHOLDERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

ee who has completed Reconciler training can change an account in the PaymentNet4. Monthly, review Cardholder Statement of Account, verify all transactions are correct and identi-
fy problems to Reconciler. Sign and date the monthly Cardholder Statement of Account within 45 days of the end of the
Statement month. (i.e. Statement of Account for September must be signed by November 15th) Submit the Cardholder Statement of Account and supporting documentation to the Approving
Official for review and approval. Approving Official has 45 days from the end of the Statementmonth to approve by signing and dating the Statement.
