Small Dollar Purchases

ASU has six methods for small dollar amount purchases, i.e. goods and services totalling less than $5,000:

1. Departmental Limited Value Purchase Order (PDLVPO) - for small dollar purchases under $5,000. It is best used when a supplier does not accept a P-Card. These are pre-signed, blank purchase orders. They require entry into Advantage, our integrated financial management system within three days of issuance.
   PO Standard Terms & Conditions

2. Requests for Check or Payment Voucher (PV) - a check without purchase order for purchases under $5,000 (although a variety of commodities have higher limits), issued through Advantage Financial System.
3. Employee Reimbursement - for purchases under $500 (PUR304-03)
   For reimbursement, use Request for Check form.
4. Petty Cash - for certain restricted purchases under $500 (FIN 403)
5. Diners Club Corporate Travel Card

6. Internal Purchase Order, Quick Turnaround Form (purchase without an Internal Purchase Order), Debit Card - for purchases from on-campus service providers and retail-like activities.
