The Review Process and Steps for Requesting a New Supplier
When the need for a new supplier arises, the process starts with submitting a Request New Supplier via the CSUBUY system. This request undergoes a two-tier review, initially by Cal Poly's Campus Supplier Management and then by the CSU Supplier Management team. Once approved at both levels, a supplier profile is created in the CSUBUY system. The user who requested the supplier will be notified as soon as the new supplier is ready for shopping, allowing you to continue with your shopping needs.
Supplier Status Matrix
| Supplier Status | Definition |
|---|---|
| Invited | Suppliers who have been emailed a link to register with CSUBUY P2P. Either the email address is not correct, or the individual has not opened the registration link. Should you experience this issue you can re-invite the supplier with the same email address or Request a New Supplier if they have an updated email address.csubuy@calpoly.edu. |
| In Progress | Suppliers have been sent the invitation to register with CSUBUY; however, they have not finished the registration profile. This may indicate they need additional support accomplishing this task. Please view the history section to view if the registration was returned or if the supplier has yet to complete their registration. You can contact csubuy@calpoly.edu for support.csubuy@calpoly.edu, and we will contact them on your behalf. |
| Profile Complete | Suppliers have finished their registration process and are now awaiting the two-step verification process at the Chancellor's Office. |
