About CSUBUY P2P
Welcome to Procurement's CSUBUY Procure-to-Pay (P2P) site. This site contains information on procuring, receiving, and paying for goods and services. P2P is the implementation of strategic, standardized procurement processes that allow for the elimination of manual steps resulting in efficiencies through automation, risk mitigation, and cost savings for the California State University.
P2P is a platform for the procurement and payment of all goods and services except travel and reimbursements to employees and students. P2P is a comprehensive procurement platform designed to optimize the entire procure-to-pay process, ensuring seamless and efficient transactions from sourcing to payment within the CSU system.
