Reimbursement

The Reimbursement Request (RR) is used for payments made directly to an individual (employee or non-employee) when a purchase order is not required per CSU Policy guidelines for Contracting & Procurement. The preferred method of payment for these types of transactions is the use of a University issued Procurement card (Procard). The University does not like for employees to be out-of-pocket for two or more weeks waiting to be reimbursed. Use of the Procard is a true cost savings for the University.

Note: Due to tax reporting, individuals may not pay for services and in return seek reimbursement for those services from the University.

Requirements

For non-employees only - Completed Supplier Data Record form (204 Form) must be submitted to Accounts Payable and entered into CFS before reimbursement is processed. If you already have a Supplier number in CFS or are an employee of CSUS, this is not required. Receipt or invoice is needed to process all reimbursement requests.

Signature of department approving official (Navigation in CFS to verify current signers: CSU Delegation of Authority >Delegation Inquiry) to update approving officials use the CFS Finance System Access Request form.

Note: All requests must have the following attached before payment will be rendered:

• Invoice or itemized receipts showing the details of what was purchased and that payment has been made
• Proof of payment is required such as a cancelled check, bank statement, or credit card statement (please redact confidential personal data)
