OBTAINING A PCARD
Cardholders:
Prior to obtaining a District P-Card, employees must read and understand the Procurement Card Program Manual. Your site/school bookkeeper will need to submit a Web Help Desk Ticket to request a new card. You will receive two emails via Eversign to complete the application and guidelines form. Once the application is complete and has been signed by your manager and the site/school bookkeeper, your card will be ordered. When your card arrives it will be forwarded to your site. Please allow fourteen (14) business days.
Training on verifying transactions in Workday will be arranged with your site Bookkeeper. The P-Card Program Manual will give the cardholder the rules and regulations for using their card and verifying transactions. It is the cardholder's responsibility to ensure all transactions are verified in Workday within 10 business days. Click on the links below for instructions on Pcard Verifications in Workday, as well as Setting Up Favorites in Workday.
Card Checkout:
Prior to checking out a School or Department District P-Card from a site, employees must read and understand the Procurement Card Program Manual and read and sign the Card Checkout Guidelines. Employees who are permitted to check out School or Department cards must abide by all the same rules and regulations for using a District P-Card as a Cardholder. Card Checkout Guidelines must be kept on site for the current school year.

Cardholder Information:
Holding a District Pcard is a big responsibility. Cardholders should be aware that every time they use their card, they are spending their school's or department's funds. With few exceptions, budgets are funded by the taxpayers and we must always be fiscally responsible.
The use of District Pcards is regulated by Board of Education policy. For the complete Pcard policy, please refer to the Procurement Card Program Manual. A few of the highlights to be aware of are the $5000 transaction limitation, splitting transactions, and the sales tax policy.
Transaction Limit - Pcards have a $5000 single purchase limit. Merchandise over $5000 must be purchased with a PO. The only exceptions to this limit are travel expenses and student field trips.
Splitting Transactions - Asking a merchant to split a transaction that is over $5000 into two smaller transactions, or using a travel card in order to avoid the transaction limit is strictly prohibited. If the transaction is for travel expenses or a student field trip, cardholders are required to submit a Web Help Desk Ticket in advance to request an increase.
Sales Tax Policy - DCSD is tax exempt and therefore no sales tax should be charged for District purchases. Cardholders are responsible for informing merchants that we are tax-exempt. Click the link below for a copy of our Tax Exempt Certificate.
