Pcard Overview

Standard Payment Cards, more commonly referred to as Pcards, are, essentially, State credit cards.

Pcard activities include reconciling and approving Pcard transactions, disputing Pcard transactions, clearing Pcard dispute charges, and adding the voucher ID to the Pcard log.

Agency Pcard reconcilers will review transactions in OAKS FIN and the associated transaction documentation to ensure that the transaction is valid and authorized. An agency Pcard Reconciler can flag a Pcard transaction as Disputed in OAKS FIN. A transaction should not be approved in OAKS FIN until the dispute is released.

Pcard transactions are verified and approved in OAKS FIN, this creates a single voucher per cardholder for the transactions with a status of Approved. OAKS FIN automatically runs the budget check process to verify that there is sufficient appropriation and cash to pay for the voucher.
