Procurement Card & Travel Expense Voucher

Did You Know?

 November 2007 Edition

Why is the Business Purpose field required on some Procurement Card transactions and not others?

When a user makes a purchase with their Procurement Card, the business purpose is required for certain types of vendors (vendors that have a higher risk of fraudulent transactions) and/or a certain dollar amount (over $100.00).

Is there a customer service email that is monitored frequently?

Questions relating to ProTrav functions email protrav@uiowa.edu.

Questions related to policy should be directed to the auditing supervisor, Tim Orris at

Does a Procurement Card Voucher (PCV) have to be approved through Workflow before the Travel Expense Voucher (TEV) can be submitted for reimbursement?

The PCV does not need to be completed prior to submitting a TEV to workflow.  We recommend that you reconcile any Procurement Card travel expenses before you complete the TEV.  That way, the TEV shows all the expenses on it whether they are out of pocket or paid by Procurement Card.

Why can’t I access ProTrav when I could before?

Human Resources decided that if an employee’s status has changed, access to confidential information needs to be reviewed to determine if the access needs to be reinstated or altered. Access is removed and it is up to the user to contact ProTrav@uiowa.edu so that a team member can review and reinstate the level of access needed by the user.
