Pcard Message Board
11/05/2008 SAM Site is moving as of 11/10/2008
Pcard reconciliation system, SAM, is going to have an upgrade November 7th—November 10th. The system will be unavailable starting at 3:00 PM on Friday, November 7th and coming back online Monday, November 10th at 5:00 AM.
When the system does come back online, it will have a new web address. Starting November 10th you will need to use the address of http://www.samaccess.com. All of your login information will remain the same however you will need to use the new website to access all of your charges.
Please remember to bookmark the new website in your web browser. The changes to the SAM system will be minimal and the main goal of switching sites is to increase the speed of the system.
The only downside of this switch is that if you have created any saved queries and/or reports, those will be lost and will need to be created again in the new SAM. Other changes that you will see in the new SAM include drop down boxes in the Transaction Review screen instead of buttons to click and simplified reporting screens.
Now instead of clicking a button that says ‘Split’, you will select that option from a drop down menu. If you utilize the reporting section of SAM you will have fewer screens to navigate through as report choices such as date range and sorting preferences have been combined into one screen.
While the changes should be minimal, please feel free to contact the Pcard Team if you run into any problems. Revised presentations of New User training and Queries and Reports training should be available on the Purchasing website prior to the October / November cutoff dates.

If grant department numbers are used on charges, please be sure to use an account code that has an expense budget established within PeopleSoft. This will eliminate many manual entries currently being made to reflect account codes on sponsored program charges. If you have any questions about how to verify if an expense budget has been established in PeopleSoft, contact Susan Strout at 325-4937.
