CSUBuy

CSUBUY is a new Procure-to-Pay (P2P) system being implemented at CSUSB as part of the CSU system-wide effort to modernize and streamline procurement and payment processes.  The platform is a centralized electronic solution that supports end-to-end purchasing and payment activities for goods and services (excluding travel and reimbursements) and integrates sourcing, requisitions, approvals, purchasing, and payment status into one system.  It replaces many manual steps and disparate tools previously used for procurement.

Project Details

What: 

Implementation of new systemwide Procure-to-Pay system.

Why:

The main goals and purpose of CSUBUY are to:

  • Streamline processes by consolidating procurement and payment functions into a single automated system.
  • Reduce manual work, inefficiencies, and risk associated with legacy processes.
  • Increase visibility into the status of purchase and payment requests in real time.
  • Improve data quality and insights, enabling better financial decision-making.
  • Improve user experience for both internal customers (faculty/staff initiating purchases) and external suppliers.
  • Support consistent compliance with CSU procurement policies.

In short, the platform addresses challenges such as fragmented tools, manual tracking, and lack of unified visibility into purchasing and payment workflows.

When:

Planned Go-Live: February 2, 2026

Training and recorded demos are available on the CSUBUY webpage
