drives efficiencies and provide flexibility
to Purchasing, Travel, Commercial, and
One Card cardholders
Before Exact Authorization Override
After Exact Authorization Override
In order to enable a purchase outside of standard
card controls, the PA would move the card out of
the existing profile to a specific profile and then
schedule the card to move back to the last profile
after a period of time
EAO drives efficiencies for card clients by
eliminating the need to move cards in and
out of profiles, instead, enabling exception,
one-off purchases by placing the card in an
exact auth profile

With respect to investments in money market mutual funds, you should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Although money market mutual
funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in money market mutual funds. The value of investments and the income derived from
them may go down as well as up and you may not get back your original investment. The level of yield may be subject to fluctuation and is not guaranteed. Changes in rates of exchange between
currencies may cause the value of investments to decrease or increase.
We have adopted policies and guidelines designed to preserve the independence of our research analysts. These policies prohibit employees from offering research coverage, a favorable research
rating or a specific price target or offering to change a research rating or price target as consideration for or an inducement to obtain business or other compensation.
