UMW Finance Card on-line Processing

This site will give instructions for the UMW Finance Cardholders and Cardholder Supervisors. If you:

  • Hold a UMW Finance Card in your own name,
  • Hold a UMW Finance Card in the name of a specific department, OR
  • Are the supervisor of a person who holds a UMW Finance Card,

it is mandatory that you Sign Off (approve) all transactions on-line within WORKS. The Cardholder "Sign Off" process routes the transaction to the Cardholder Manager approval and restores the available credit line funding on the Card at the end of the Billing Cycle.

Within WORKS, signed off transactions route to the Cardholder Manager (CM) for approval. The CM will review the transaction and the accompanying paperwork within the Receipt Packet, and will then "Sign Off" as the approver. The CM Sign Off activity routes the transaction to Accounts Payable for final processing and approval.

For continued use of the Card, you must have Internal Procedures, which are "step-by-step" instructions to document the processes surrounding the use of the Card, including the procedures for checking out a card (for departmental cards) and procedures for forwarding Receipt Packets to supervisors and then to Accounts Payable. See the "Internal Procedures" heading at the Finance web site for further instructions.
