New BluCard Process
Effective May 1, 2021, all cardholders will be responsible for the reconciliation/verification of their transactions directly in BFS. At the same time, submissions to Financial Services requesting approval of verified transactions will no longer need to be done. Financial Services will be running reports regularly from CalAnswers to identify all transactions in ‘Verified’ status only reviewing and approving purchases in that status. To assist in making sure that approvals are occuring in a timely manner, reconciliations must be completed 3 business days prior to the transaction clear date as noted in BFS. This gives Financial Services staff time to reach out to the cardholder if there are any issues. If you have other staff that have been submitting reconciliations on your behalf, whether career or student, we can absolutely have them set up for BFS training and access.
