DISCREPANCIES

Any discrepancies between the amount billed and the receipt must be
resolved by the cardholder. Please note the reason for the discrepancy
on the receipt and who was contacted to resolve the discrepancy.

If an item(s) was returned to the vendor, but the credit was applied to
the next billing cycle, the item must be charged to the department
for the current period
. The charge should be applied back to the
MFK number used the prior month once the credit appears.

If the cardholder is disputing an item on their account, the cardholder
should first contact the vendor and try to resolve the problem. If
efforts to resolve the problem directly with the vendor fail, the item(s)
in dispute will be charged to the department
. Below are the procedures
used to initiate the dispute with US Bank:

  1. A Disputed charge is processed through the Line Editor in the
    Procurement Card Voucher.  Click on “new line” for the Line Editor
    box to appear.

  2. Click on the box next to Disputed Charge (located near the bottom
    left of the Line Editor) and a new window will open up for the user
    to enter the information being disputed.

  3. Once the information has been entered on the form.  Click “Save
    and download form”.

    1. Print the PDF file that opens after the information is saved.

    2. Add the card number and have the cardholder sign the print out.

    3. Fax it to the number listed at the top of the form.

    4. There is no need to send a copy with the receipts as this is
      saved electronically with the voucher.

  4. US Bank will initiate the dispute procedure by contacting the
    vendor’s bank to obtain the requested information.

  5. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the cardholder, a credit will
    be applied to the account.

  6. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the vendor, US Bank will forward
    supporting documentation to the cardholder, which must be submitted
    to the Accounts Payable department to be filed with the original charge.

  7. The Dispute should be resolved within two billing cycles.  The cardholder
    is responsible to pursue the resolution.

 

Important

Photocopy all vouchers and documentation prior to sending to Accounts Payable both for the department's needs and in case the original is lost in transit.

NO ONE other than the cardholder is authorized to sign in place of the Cardholder.

Effective 6/2002
