On a Purchasing Card transaction, if the department changes the object code from the default of PCRD to something more specific, does the DaFIS Direct Charge (DC) get marked as invalid?
A. No, assuming that this was a legitimate purchase. PCRD is the default object for every purchase made using the Purchasing Card. Changing the object code does not make the default transaction invalid. The GL reviewer is saying that the transaction is valid as of that step in the process. The GL reviewer should be able to confirm that the transaction was authorized by the appropriate person, it was an appropriate purchase for the Purchasing Card, and that the items were actually received.
