Requiring activities will use the Army’s standard Purchase Request and Approval (PR&A) sample template or a substantially similar document when submitting purchase requests to CHs. Cardholders will process and route the document for signature prior to making a purchase. A purchase request document will not be used for individual training (SF 182), MIPR, contract payments, and delivery orders/purchase orders. This document must be approved prior to purchase and uploaded into the bank’s EAS once the transaction posts.
