Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS)

What’s New

Payment and Travel Card Procedures

Entering procurement and travel card transactions in USAS or CAPPS Financials requires special considerations for timely payment reconciliation.

Agencies should review the procedures for entering credit card information in the USAS and CAPPS invoice number fields as detailed in the section on payment and travel card amount numbers in USAS and CAPPS Financials Invoice Number Field Requirements (FPP E.023).

See Processing Third-Party Transactions in USAS for Payment/Travel Cards, Direct Bill Payments and Reimbursements (FPP A.043) (login required) for more information. Contact expenditure.assistance@cpa.texas.gov with questions.

New Payment Card Policy Updates

On Sept. 1, the state of Texas began transitioning to a new charge card contract, 946-M4 Charge Cards, with U.S. Bank. Two fiscal policies and procedures (FPPs) were updated to reflect the new payment processing requirements for U.S. Bank card statements.

New for fiscal 2026: Payments to U.S. Bank for payment and travel cards must contain the full 16-digit corporate/managing account number in the invoice number field.

Any remaining Citibank payment or travel card transactions still require the last 10 digits of the corporate/managing account number in the invoice number field.

CAPPS agencies: CAPPS now also requires the full 16-digit account number for U.S. Bank payment and travel card transactions.

See Processing Third-Party Transactions in USAS for Payment/Travel Cards, Direct Bill Payments and Reimbursements (FPP A.043)(login required) and USAS and CAPPS Financials Invoice Number Field Requirements (FPP E.023) for more information.

Contact your travel/purchase contact or email expenditure.assistance@cpa.texas.gov with questions about using payment/travel cards or processing payments on charge card statements.
