Overview

---

This article demonstrates how to submit a Concur request to apply for a Procurement Card. Please note: only a cardholder is eligible to submit a new card Request in Concur. Additionally, a new card request should never route to a Department Administrator (DA) for approval. This request will be routed to your Financial Unit approver and then the Department Head before reaching the Procurement Card team for final review and approval.

Prerequisites

---

• Before applying for a Procurement Card, please review the Procurement Card Blink Pages for what restrictions and regulations apply to the card.
• Complete the University Procurement Card Program training and save the completion certificate before starting this Request.
• Sign and complete the Procurement Card Cardholder Agreement, with all fields and signatures filled out.

Essential Information

---

• Red alerts in a request are hard stops that provide information as to what you need to update or what you are missing.
• Orange alerts are informational only and provide key details about policy that you should be aware of upon submission.

Requests on Behalf of Another Employee

• To create a Procurement Card Request on behalf of another UCSD employee, the employee will need to add you as their delegate.
• Concur identifies the employee payee as the user submitting the Request, or the user that the delegate is acting on behalf of.
• To learn how to assign users to act on your behalf, please refer to KB0031969: How to add a Request Delegate and an Expense Delegate in Concur.
• To learn how to act as a delegate for another user, please refer to KB0031975: How to act as a Delegate in Concur.
