Procurement Card Training Introduction

The University of Wisconsin - River Falls Procurement Card Program was established to provide departments a simple, cost-effective, and convenient way to make low dollar purchases. The program is designed to replace most low dollar purchase orders (Normally Under $1500) and blanket orders.

The Program is NOT intended :

• Is not to avoid or bypass appropriate procurement or payment procedures, but to be a complement to existing procedures
• Is not to replace the current corporate travel card program (aka T-Card)
• Is not for personal use.

The procurement card may be used at any merchant or service provider that accepts the card, subject to the limitations described in Appendix A.

The procurement card may be used in much the same manner that personal credit cards are used for in-store purchases and for mail, telephone, and fax orders.
