Welcome to the CSUBUY Procure-to-Pay (P2P) System
The CSUBUY Procure-to-Pay (P2P) application is a centralized, systemwide platform designed to standardize, streamline, and enhance procurement and payment processes across all California State University campuses. This strategic solution reinforces our commitment to operational efficiency, transparency, and compliance—enabling campuses to manage purchasing and payment activities with greater consistency and accountability.
Through standardized workflows, real-time data access, and integrated tools, the P2P system helps reduce manual touchpoints, improve supplier collaboration, and support smarter, data-driven procurement decisions. Whether you’re initiating a purchase, managing a contract, or processing an invoice, the platform is built to support both daily operations and long-term strategic goals across the CSU.
