P-Card cardholders will NOT have to run the SAM database search for their P-Card suppliers as a part of their reconciliation process. Journal entries from non-grant funds to grant funds will also NOT require a SAM database search.  While cardholders may manually reconcile their monthly P-Card transactions to grant funds where appropriate, transactions will not be allowed to automatically default to a grant fund.

Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Sciences are required in their roles as federal government contractors to abide by the Executive Orders 12549 and 12689, 2 CFR part 180.  This regulation restricts awards, sub-awards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance activities. To prevent unknowingly doing business with a vendor that may be suspended or debarred, Procurement Card (P-Card) transactions are not allowed to automatically default to a grant fund.
