[Plantsci] Another Wonderful Wednesday!

[Mark A Beilstein]

Hi Leslie,

A couple of questions below regarding these forms:

*PCard Authorization Form*: Where can we find an EDOC # for a pcard
purchase?
*Expense Reimbursement:* Will you confirm that we should turn in physical
receipts to the business office for any expense without an electronic copy
generated by the vendor? In other words, scans or photos of original
receipts are not permitted?

Thanks,
Mark
