OSU Purchasing Card Prohibited Uses
The following is intended as a guide to help interpret the OUS and OSU Purchasing Card policies. Please note that during the pilot project we have an OUS waiver to the policy that allows OSU to use specific 1099 reportable account codes that are normally restricted. Those codes are listed below. Purchasing items that are listed as restricted purchase types or account codes could result in the revocation or suspension of the Departmental VISA Purchasing Card.
Restricted Purchase Types
- Personal Purchases
- Cash Advances
- Inter-Departmental Expenses (Use a JV)
- Any Travel or Hosting Related Expense
- Transportation Fares - e.g. airfares, bus fares, train fares, ferry, etc.

- Misc. Lodging Charges e.g. room service, movies, phone, laundry service, etc.
