FY 2023-24 Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders

To support our Procurement and Accounting Services teams during this transition, be sure to review the information here for processing and submission of 2023-24 forms. If you have any questions about these end-of-year processes, reach out to the respective Procurement buyer.

How will CSUBuy P2P change our current procurement process?

• Requests for purchases or payments will be submitted via forms (Goods and Services, Direct Pay, Independent Contractor etc.).

NOTE:

• Use of the Direct Pay form will only be limited to certain instances.
• Independent Contractor forms will still need to be completed for any individual we are paying (for services) who is not an employee.
• You can track requests, purchases and payments in CSUBuy P2P.
• All processes will be electronic with no signatures required and additional forms required for certain purchases have been built into the CSUBuy P2P system.
