🗒️ Justification
A justification is a brief but required statement explaining the benefit of the purchase.
Every procard form requires a justification. Any submitted without a justification will be returned as incomplete.
See All about justifications for your guide on how to write a great one!
Justifications for sponsored research accounts
If a research account is used, you’ll see an additional pop-up: the Names of person(s) transaction was purchased for field:
This field is for indicating who the items were purchased on behalf of (not who did the purchasing) in order for the finance team to determine if the person(s) receiving the benefit of the purchase have effort on the account(s) in question.
Leaving this field blank or with anything other than a name will result in your p-card form being returned to you for correction.
See Purchasing on a Research Cost Object for full details on what is counted as effort on a research account.
