on the PCard might be denied. In most cases, the information regarding the reason for

file.
4. Cardholder did not activate the PCard.

Q: Can I split a transaction?
A: Yes and No.
-Yes, if splitting a transaction occurs during reallocation process. To find out the process
of splitting a transaction please refer to the Purchasing Card Guidelines for instructions.
-No, if splitting a transaction during a purchase. Please DO NOT ask a merchant to split
a transaction at the time of purchase. The University Asset Management Policy requires
all capital assets to be tracked and depreciated on an individual basis. A capital asset
purchase is a single item purchase with a purchase value of $5,000 or greater. An audit
is performed in order to track these types of purchases to put on the asset management
program. We ask that you DO NOT split any transactions during your purchase. If you
have any questions regarding this issue please contact University Purchasing or Financial
Operations.
-If you find that you are making large purchases that will exceed your monthly limit,
please contact University Purchasing or Accounts Payable for proper procedures in
increasing your limit.
Q: Can I purchase gift cards on the purchasing card for someone that is NOT an employee
of ACU?
A: No. Due to the difficulty in tracking these purchases and taxability issues according to
the IRS, ACU asks that gift cards NOT be purchased for anyone. If you have questions
please contact Accounts Payable.
Q: Can I pay for "services" with the purchasing card? (ex: Dr.'s visits, Attorneys, labor,
honorariums, etc...)
A: No. The ACU Banner system is not set up to capture this information at this time. If you
have questions please contact a purchasing card administrator.
