Global Reporting and Account Management (GRAM) is a Bank of America and MasterCard portal used to reconcile P‐card activity. Beginning with the June 2019 statement, all statements should be reconciled electronically on GRAM. Paper settlements will no longer be accepted. See the ‘GRAM Log In Guide’ for more information on how to log in and the ‘How to Create a Monthly P‐card Expense Report Guide’ for more information on reconciling your statement using GRAM.
There are 3 types of access in GRAM. Cardholder, Level Manager and Account Group Manager. If you approve P‐card Expense Reports, you are a Level Manager. If you support cardholders in preparing P‐card Expense Reports you are an Account Group Manager.
An employee’s supervisor can email uiwcc@uiwtx.edu to request a card. The request should include the employee‘s name, school ID number, home org and requested monthly credit limit. P‐cards take about 10 business days from request date to arrive.
Temporary (30 days maximum) or permanent credit limit adjustments can be requested by supervisors by emailing uiwcc@uiwtx.edu. These can be done during business hours only (Monday – Friday, except holidays) and are effective immediately. Once the change has been made, the P‐card holder will be notified.
A P‐card Expense Report replaces the monthly credit card settlement. It is the process of reconciling P‐card activity by assigning an appropriate account number, expense description and uploading supporting documentation
P‐card Expense Reports are due within 10 business days of the statement date. Activity can be coded and support can be attached as expenses are incurred, but P‐card Expense Reports should not be submitted until after the statement cycle closes. Our statement cycle is from the 28th to the 27th.
Cardholders must submit P‐card Expense Reports. Employees who have Account Group Manager access can support cardholders in preparing P‐card Expense Reports but should not submit a report on behalf of another cardholder. See the ‘How to Create a Monthly P‐card Expense Report Guide’ (step 14).'

P‐card Expense Reports may be rejected by the Supervisor or the Program Administrator (Comptroller’s Office) for a variety of reasons which may include an illegible receipt, wrong account number, inadequate expense description, unallowable expense, etc. If your P‐card Expense Report has been rejected, log in and check the comments to see why it was rejected. See the ‘How to Correct a Rejected P‐card Expense Report Guide.’
