Purchase Orders (Cruz Buy)

CruzBuy is UCSC's application for purchasing goods and services. It enables users to browse online catalogs or request items using an electronic form and initiate a purchase requisition based on the contents of a shopping cart. Completed requisitions are routed for review and upon approval sent to suppliers as a purchase order.

The CruzBuy Access Authorizer for a division/unit must sign all CruzBuy Access Authorization forms for that division/unit.
