| The
Purchasing Card system simplifies the procurement/disbursement
process.
Procurement responsibility is delegated to the ordering
Department enabling an authorized
cardholder to place an order directly with the vendor.
When a purchase authorization is requested by the
supplier at the point-of-sale, the Visa
Purchasing Card system checks the transaction against
preset limits established by the
employee's Department. Transactions are approved or
declined (electronically) based on
the Purchasing Card authorization criteria established.
The authorization criteria may be
adjusted periodically as needed and may include, but
is not limited to, the following:
- Single purchase limit as set by the County Administrator
(not to exceed $2,499.99)
- Monthly spending limit (not to exceed $15,000.00)
- Approved Merchant Category Codes
Note: Please review the complete list of Visa Merchant
Category Codes,
allowed and disallowed, in this procedure on pages
12 of 19 thru
19 of 19.
- Number of transactions allowed per day
- Number of transactions allowed per month
