Reviewing PCard Transactions Select the Transactions option from the main menu. The Transaction Manage enables users to review those transactions which have been posted.

Reviewing Transactions in PaymentNet Usage Tax Washington State RCW 82.12 Use tax is a tax on the use of goods or certain services in Washington when sales tax has not been paid. Out-of-state vendors usually do not (and should not) charge sales tax unless they have a presence in Washington State. EWU however still pays tax on all taxable transactions regardless of if it was charged by the vendor. When to use the Yes or No when reconciling your transaction in PaymentNet: You must refer to your corresponding invoice/receipt to determine if use tax needs to be paid. If the item is taxable, but the vendor did not charge you sales tax, select Y, which indicates that Usage Tax is due. If the item is taxable and the vendor charged you sales tax, select N, which indicates no Usage Tax is due. If the item is not taxable and you did not pay sales tax, select N, which indicates that no Usage Tax is due.
Disputes Always attempt to resolve disputes with the merchant first.
Formal Disputes You may formally dispute a transaction when: The merchant will not work with you to rectify the issue. You did not authorize a charge or do not recognize a charge. There is a difference between the amount you authorized and the amount you were charged. You find duplicate charges. Your account does not reflect a credit you have been issued by a merchant. You didn t receive the goods. The merchandise is defective.
Formal Disputes The disputed item will be paid. The disputed transaction must be documented in writing within 60 days of the transaction. Log the disputed item online at the PaymentNet website or call PaymentNet Customer Service at 800-270-7760. PaymentNet will instruct the cardholder to provide specific information regarding the dispute. Review the transaction in PaymentNet as you would any other transaction. If a credit is due, it will be reflected on PaymentNet.
Submitting Documents At the end of each month, submit documents to: Approver Grant and Research Development (if applicable) By the last Friday of July, submit original records for the previous fiscal year to Purchasing: Monthly Transaction Detail w/account Codes & Notes report signed by Approver. Transaction Detail Record signed by Budget Authority. Original receipt/invoice for each transaction.
Example of Monthly Reports page 1 This is an example of what the first page of the monthly documents you submit to your approver should look like. It should be the Transaction Allocation Report.
Example of Monthly Reports page 2 The second page should be the transaction detail page for the first transaction listed on the transaction allocation report.
Example of Monthly Reports page 3 The third page will be the receipt. The receipt must be itemized meaning it must list everything that was purchased. It must be the original. No photo copies or scanned copies are accepted. If the original receipt is an online receipt simply print the receipt. If the original receipt is a hard copy receipt say from Safeway, the original receipt must be included. A photo copy of the Safeway receipt is not acceptable.
Lost Receipt form If the original receipt can not be located turn in a lost receipt form. If the original receipt is not itemized, turn in a lost receipt form and in the describe the steps taken to obtain the receipt state that the vendor did not provide an itemized receipt and list what was purchased.
