How to Pay

Paying for goods and services may be accomplished in a few ways. Any contract or agreement must be reviewed and signed by Contracts & Procurement, as they have been delegated the authority to sign on behalf of the Trustees and the University.

All invoices and payment requests should be emailed as a single PDF attachment, per payment, to Humboldt.invoices@edmgroup.com. Please do not leave any instructions or approvals in the body of the email as they will not be sent forward to the AP team.

To follow up on the status of your payment, please locate the document in CSUBUY and comment. Weekly trainings for CSUBUY can be found here.

Option 1. Procurement Card (ProCard) 

The CSU requires low-value purchase transactions be processed in the most effective and efficient manner for the purposes of reducing the costs. Low-value purchases are categorized as commodities less than $5,000, and off-campus services less than $1,000, and should be facilitated through the use of procurement credit cards ("ProCards"). For these low-value procurements, little or no value can be added by processing the transaction through standard procurement procedures. ProCard purchases are almost always preferred over a personal reimbursement. For common commodities please utilize the CSUBUY Shopping portal.

Requirements for ProCard

  1. ProCard Application
  2. Commodities less than $5,000
  3. Off-campus services less than $1,000
  4. Approved on campus service providers by the following vendors (no requisition or contract required):
    1. Western Business
    2. Shred Aware
    3. Eureka Oxygen
    4. Sequoia Gas Company

Option 2. Commodity & Service with a Purchase Order

A Purchase Order (PO) should be used when a commodity is over $5,000, an off-campus service is over $1,000, or for all on campus services. Anytime there is an associated contract, please email the contract to procure@humboldt.edu for review. To pay an invoice associated with a PO, the person delegated the fiscal authority can write that they approve on the physical invoice and sign, then email the invoice to Humboldt.invoices@edmgroup.com. If the invoice comes directly to AP, the AP team will email you through CSUBUY for approval.

Option 3. Direct Pay – Least Preferred Option

Direct Pay expenditures are payments made against a department's chartfield without the establishment of a Purchase Order, or if the vendor will not accept a ProCard.

Requirements for Direct Pay

  1. Should only be used on low-value procurements where the vendor does not accept ProCards
  2. Services over $5,000 should be on a PO – no Direct Pay form is necessary with the invoice
  3. A Payee Data Record Form Std. 204 form must be collected
  4. Itemized backup documentation must be included
  5. A single PDF including the Direct Pay form (one single PDF per email (Max 5MB) should be emailed to Humboldt.invoices@edmgroup.com
