Limited Purchase Checks Overview

Limited Purchase Checks (LPCs) may be used by departments for small dollar purchases up to the limit printed on the face of the check. These checks are prepared by the ordering department and are delivered to the vendor. Persistent improper use of the Limited Purchase Check program will result in withdrawal of the privilege to use this means of making small dollar purchases and may result in disciplinary action for fraudulent use.
