Unlike regular credit cards, procurement cards must be paid off in three to 28 days. Users have different purchase limits, depending on their needs. Also, the school division can block purchases from vendor categories such as hotels, restaurants and airlines. All transactions must be recorded, approved by a supervisor and reconciled with receipts.
