Effective September 1, 2020
These guidelines apply to all Business Units including CSUSM, CSUSM Corporation, CSUSM Foundation, and ASI.
Direct Pays are payments against a department’s account without the establishment of a purchase order (PO). All reimbursements must be made within 90 days of original purchase/service or invoice date, or an after the fact form is required. Do not follow these guidelines if you have a purchase order for your purchase, instead follow the PO guidelines, or the CSUSM Corporation Requisition and PO guidelines.
ProCard Preferred: Please use ProCard whenever possible. Personal credit cards should be used on a limited basis such as urgent situations. More information on the use of a ProCard.
You May Not Need to Submit a Direct Pay Form if you have an invoice.
