Ask P-Card Overview

CSN sponsors a P-Card Program that allows designated employees to make business-related purchases.  The P-Card provides an efficient, cost-effective way to purchase low dollar goods, as well as high volume repetitive purchases by giving Departments direct buying power, thus reducing the number of Purchase Requisitions and Supplier Invoice Requests and reducing costs associated with issuing checks.  The program replaces some of the traditional requisition processes of pricing inquiry and obtaining quotes, the ordering cycle, invoicing and review, and the payment cycle.
