Purchasing Cards (P-Cards)
Employees with a DU Purchasing Card (P-Card) use Pioneer Travel & Expense to reconcile card transactions, attach receipts, and provide required business purpose documentation.
P-Card transactions are automatically imported into PT&E and are typically available for reconciliation within 5–7 business days.

Reimbursements
Employees who pay for approved business expenses out of pocket must submit an expense report in Pioneer Travel & Expense for reimbursement.
Expense reports must include the expense details, business purpose, and any required receipts or supporting documentation. Once the report has been fully approved, reimbursement will be processed.

Approvals and Reporting
Supervisors and Business Officers play an important role in the Pioneer Travel & Expense approval process. Depending on their role, approvers may review and approve expense reports, Purchasing Card requests, or submitted travel or business purchase requests.
Approvers are responsible for verifying that expenses are appropriate, adequately documented, and compliant with university policies before approval.
Pioneer Travel & Expense also provides reporting tools that allow Business Officers and other authorized users to review expense activity and monitor transactions within their area of responsibility.
