Important Update to Purchasing Cards and Travel Cards
A recent Business@Purdue introduced a change in process for requesting an increase and for making a change to both Travel cards and Purchasing cards. These actions will now be processed using Concur. Please note both requests will require entering an account number.
This is required in order for the request to add second level business office approval to the request. Requests cannot be completed without the addition of an account number.
A reminder that the process for requesting a new Pcard or Tcard will remain the same with no changes at this time.
Purchasing Card, Travel Card change requests shift to Concur beginning Feb. 10
The process to request a change to an existing Purdue Purchasing Card or Travel Card is changing as of Feb. 10. At that time, the majority of requests will be submitted directly through Concur instead of through an online form or by sending an email to Purdue Card Services.
Affected card change requests include name or address change, designating a different person as the responsible party for the card, requests for temporary or permanent limit increases, closing the card if the assigned individual is no longer with the university or reporting the card as lost or stolen.
Some of these change requests require fiscal approval, and those will automatically be routed through a workflow in Concur to streamline the process.
With this process change, travelers will have an additional step to complete when creating a travel request in Concur. They will need to select Purdue Travel Request Policy from the Request Policy drop-down menu.
The only card change request that will remain outside of Concur is designating a new reconciler for a Purchasing Card, and that form will be submitted through the Purdue Services Portal (TDX).
New quick reference guides for card change requests are available on the Procurement Services website. The process to apply for a new Purchasing Card or Travel Card remains the same, and information is available at the link. Questions about Purchasing Cards may be directed to pcard@purdue.edu, and questions about Travel Cards can be sent to tcard@purdue.edu.
