Beat the Sweep…SPCC Cardholders and Reviewers are now receiving a monthly “Beat the Sweep” email from Melissa Myers, UMW SPCC Program Administrator. The message advises cardholders and reviewers to code and sign-off of all transactions in advance of the 22nd of each month in order to comply with program timelines.
Important things to remember:
– If you will be out of the office and unable to meet the monthly sign-off deadline, notify the Purchasing Office in advance of your departure.
– Cardholders must code transactions timely; transactions will route to reviewers only after they are coded and signed-off by cardholder. Reviewers will not see transactions that are unsigned by cardholders.
If you have any questions, please contact the SPCC Program Administrator, Melissa Myers: mmyers@umw.edu or call x1057.
