A.
This program
has been established by the State of North Carolina to
allow rapid purchase
of low dollar goods, reducing paperwork and handling costs associated
with the small purchase process. The UNCW purchasing card is essentially
a standard Visa card in which the liability rests with the University
instead of the individual cardholder. (This is different from the
American Express travel card,
in which the liability is solely the cardholder's.) The purchasing
card is issued
to an employee, empowering this person to purchase
goods on behalf of the University. Under no circumstance may this
Visa card be used for personal purchases.
B.
The Purchasing Administrative
Card System
(PACS) has been established by UNCW to manage
purchasing card transactions. It
is a web-based system designed to interact with FRS. PACS
will set
up transactions for departmental review on a daily basis as well
as
allow for account number modifications. See the PACS Reference
Manual for complete details.
