SPCC NEWS

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 (from the prior month billing cycle) in advance of the 22^nd 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.

This monthly message goes to all SPCC contacts, if coding and sign-offs are complete, we thank you in advance and no further action is needed.

If you have any questions, please contact the SPCC Program Administrator, Melissa Myers: mmyers@umw.edu or call x1057.
