In contrast to the traditional purchasing process that often involves several internal departments and many pieces of paper, a purchase made with the Airmax Scope Prepaid MasterCard® utilises external resources as described below:
The employee is given a Scope Card with pre-assigned authorisation limits determined by their company/organisation. The authorisation limits are in line with the employee’s job responsibilities and authority. This allows the employee to purchase goods/services at the time they are needed, rather than relying on the purchasing department to order the goods/services.
The employee can make purchases directly with suppliers/service providers within pre-assigned authorisation limits.
The supplier/service provider delivers goods/services and receives payment through the MasterCard network within a few days instead of relying on the buyer’s Accounts Payable department.
The employee receives a card activity statement, which they review for accuracy. The accounting/finance area receives and pays one consolidated invoice for all cards rather than paying multiple supplier invoices.
Electronic Data Management System adds the transaction into their financial system to record the expense on the General Ledger.
