RIT Transaction Details Report

Introduction

You can be more efficient and save time by using the PNC ActivePay Notes feature to record transactions’ business purpose information such as the “who”, “what”, and “why”.* The RIT Transaction Details Report captures the notes/business purpose information you entered and eliminates the need to write the business purpose on each receipt. You can also use this report to eliminate the use of the paper PNC Procurement Card Monthly Log.

(*For additional information about documenting business purpose, refer to the Procurement Card Guide, section II. The Procurement Card Process, D. How to Reconcile Your Monthly Card Statement #4 available on the Controller’s Office website.)

Recording the Business Purpose in ActivePay

When you review the transactions in PNC ActivePay, change the account number and add the business purpose in the Notes section. This will eliminate the need to write the business purpose on each receipt.
