Purchase Guidelines

Transaction Limits

All Payment Cards have a single transaction limit, which is normally defaulted to the delegated purchase limit of the system member. This is the amount available on the Payment Card for a single purchase. A transaction includes the purchase price plus tax, freight and installation. Cardholders should not attempt to make a purchase greater than their approved amount, doing so would be a violation of policy and grounds for card suspension or cancellation. Changes to the transaction limit must be handled by the Payment/Travel Card Office.

Each system member has their own stated delegated authority. For example TAMU is $10k, but TAMUS is 5k. Please check with your members respective Payment/Travel Card Office if there is any questions about the single transaction limit or delegated authority.
