CFS EREQ – CFS Required Procurement

This site will be disabled no later than January 10, 2025. End users should no longer use this method once they have completed CSUBUY P2P training.

CFS EREQ should be utilized for requesting items to be entered into CFS for financial tracking. These can include but are not limited to:

  • Purchase Order, including blankets
  • Service Order, including blankets
  • Contract/Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding
  • Click to Accept Websites
  • Software license or subscription, including free

CFS EREQ must be submitted ahead of time and the contract must be fully executed prior to service beginning or goods being delivered. 

Please Note: Services or goods rendered without a contract in place ahead of time will be considered confirming order and the supplier/vendor might not get paid.
