In selecting an EIPP vendor, there are many questions that has to be asked, but two that stands out and I am asking if anyone can shed some light:

1. When vendors say that they support credit/p-cards, do they actually mean that they have integrated their software with card processing channels? How do vendors solution access the card processing networks?

2. What is the state of the market re: card payments and reconciliation? The point of card payment is to avoid invoicing, but we still have to reconcile credit card statements with POs. Is it standard for software that handles cards to reconciliate the statement to the PO?

Thank you in advance,
