Menu Builder Updates:
From menu select Tools > Security & Setup > Menu Builder
If you're unsure what Role a user is in you can use the User menu to search from them and it will display which security role they are in

To update the role, click Roles from the left-hand Menu Builder Menu
Find the Role you need to update and click the Edit button
Click on Finance > Requisition & Purchasing to see if the users Role has access to Purchasing Card. The example below indicates there is no Requisition & Purchasing option for Purchasing Cards for the AP Clerk role:

Click on Modify Menu and then search for Finance to find options available for Finance modules.
You will be shown a Finance > Requisition & Purchasing > Purchasing Cards option and click on it to select.
Once selected, it will show you any options available for Purchasing Cards. Click on Purchasing Cards to select it and click on the arrow to move it into the "Selected Menu Items" list so it will be added to this roles menu.
Click Save to save the selection, Close and Save again to save the Role Menu changes.
Repeat this for any roles your Purchasing Card users are in so they will have the Purchasing Card menu options in their Finance portal list. Alternatively, you can create new Role for Purchasing Card and add all users using Purchasing Card into this one role in Menu Builder. This is useful if some of your existing Roles include users that don't need access to the Purchasing Card module.
You are ready to start using the new Purchasing Card module.
