UToledo\u2019s Finance Department is implementing changes for employees who use a University Pcard or University-issued credit card. <\/p>\n
A new vendor, Concur Travel and Expense, has been selected to unify and automate the travel and expense process across campuses. This new service has several advantages, including: <\/p>\n
\u2022 Creating a better travel and expense process for affected faculty and staff; <\/p>\n
\u2022 Increasing policy compliance; <\/p>\n
\u2022 Providing better transparency of travel and expense spending for supervisors; and <\/p>\n
\u2022 Eliminating the need for the University to collect, manage and store paper receipts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis change enables us to leverage the University\u2019s buying power with vendors, providing cost savings and a better user experience,\u201d said Michael Dennis, associate vice president for finance and treasurer. \u201cIt will replace our current Banner Travel and Reimbursement Module, plus the PaymentNet Pcard reporting system.\u201d<\/p>\n
Users will find that Concur\u2019s process is seamless and has an intuitive design for ease of use because it automatically populates expense reports with the Concur Smart Expense application, plus it reduces the need for paper, receipts, imaging and faxing, Dennis explained.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the University is replacing the JP Morgan Chase Mastercard Pcard program with a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Visa-branded card program. The new corporate card also will make travel and purchasing expense reporting simpler for employees, while also maximizing purchasing and accounting efficiencies for UToledo. The new card program will be available beginning Monday, July 1, with all users converted by Friday, Aug. 30. <\/p>\n
Users will receive an email invitation to sign up for in-person training on these new tools, which will be required for travel requests, travel reimbursement, and reconciling Pcard activity. <\/p>\n
Updated policies, training materials, Pcard application materials and FAQs also will be available on Accounts Payable\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you have questions, contact:<\/p>\n \u2022 Jason.Hanely@utoledo.edu<\/a> for Concur functionality and training opportunities;<\/p>\n \u2022 Alyssa.High@utoledo.edu<\/a> for Pcard use, limits and reconciliation; and<\/p>\n \u2022 Dorene.Spotts@utoledo.edu<\/a> or Patricia.Peterson@utoledo.edu<\/a> for general accounts payable assistance.<\/p>\n \u201cWe look forward to implementing these new tools and appreciate all users participating in the training to help ensure a smooth transition,\u201d Dennis said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UToledo\u2019s Finance Department is implementing changes for employees who use a University Pcard or University-issued credit card.
