7.4 Splitting or Stringing Purchases

When using the P-Card, splitting or stringing of orders is strictly prohibited.  Repeated occurrences shall result in cancellation of the card.
An example of stringing is if a Cardholder wants to purchase items totaling $1,100.00 at one time from a vendor.  The Cardholder knows that the single dollar limit per transaction is $1,000.00.  Some items are then bought on one transaction and the other items are bought on a second transaction, thus avoiding the transaction limit.
