1.1 Introduction

Purpose
This purchasing card program has been established in order to provide a more rapid turnaround of requisitions for low dollar value goods, and to reduce paperwork and handling costs.

By using the VISA P-Card the traditional requisition-pricing inquiry-order placement-delivery of goods-invoice-voucher review-payment cycle is greatly reduced. Those requisitioners who have been issued a P-Card may initiate a transaction in-person or by telephone, in accordance with established procurement guidelines and procedures.

The CPCC Accounts Payable Department will make monthly settlements with Bank of America (Card Financial Online).

NOTE: The use of this P-Card does not change any of the existing CPCC or State of North Carolina procurement rules and regulations.
