This guide will cover:
- How to reconcile purchasing card charges
Critical Concepts
Cardholders must:
- Reconcile all charges, upload receipts and provide detailed transaction description by the 5th business day of the month following the month in which the transaction was made. Failure to reconcile by the deadlines may result in an immediate suspension of the card
- Comply with all terms contained in the cardholder application
- Not allow other individuals to charge or authorize expenses on their card
Supervisors must:
- Approve all transactions in Spend Clarity by the 10th business day of the month following the month to which the transaction was made. Failure to approve transactions by the deadline may result in an immediate suspension of the Cardholder's card.
- Ensure proper use of the P-Card.
- Confirm all purchases and expenses have valid and documented business purpose, are supported by appropriate documentation, and include acceptable comments to explain the purchase.

Receipts
All receipts must be itemized showing:
- Vendor Name
- Vendor Address
- Date of Purchase
- Item(s) Purchased
- Amount(s)
Missing Receipts
If the Cardholder loses the receipt for a transaction, the Cardholder must attempt to obtain a copy of the receipt from the vendor. If the receipt cannot be obtained, the Cardholder must complete and submit as part of their reconciliation a Missing Receipt form. Excessive uses of the Missing Receipt form will not be allowed and may result in revocation of card privileges.
This completes the processes for reconciling a purchasing card.
