About Create Purchase Requisition

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

Purchase requisitions are part of the add-on Purchasing module. PO Reqs are requests for inventory to be purchased and are an optional step before generating a purchase order. Create Purchase Requisition is used to create the requisition which, when approved, generates one or more purchase orders depending on the number of vendors assigned.

If there is no lead time to the purchase or if your organization has no requirement to use requisitions, start the purchasing process with a purchase order. You can create a purchase order manually or using the Reorder Worksheet.

Information stored on a purchase requisition includes the entity requesting the inventory and the location for which it is being requested, other identifying information for the purchase requisition, any shipping instructions or notes, the catalog used to select the inventory and the list of selected inventory.

When an approval process has been defined for purchase requisitions, a purchase requisition must be approved before it can be issued as a purchase order.
