Purchase Requisitions
Purchase order requisitions, or simply requisitions, are formal requests made by employees or departments within an organization. They ask to procure goods or services from suppliers. These requisitions serve as the initial step in the procurement process. Additionally, they initiate the workflow that leads to creating and issuing of a purchase order.

The purchase order requisition process:
- Initiation: Employees or departments initiate requisitions when they need specific goods or services.
- Information: Purchase requisitions contain essential information. They include descriptions of the items or services needed, quantities required, preferred suppliers (if any), delivery timelines, and special instructions or specifications.
- Automated requisition approval: Requisitions often require approval from designated individuals before proceeding. Eliminate bottlenecks and delays with our automated approval workflows.
- Creation of Purchase Orders: Once approved, the requisition converts into a Purchase Order. This serves as a formal agreement between the organization (buyer) and the supplier (seller).
- Order fulfillment: Upon receiving the Purchase Order, the supplier sends the goods or provides the requested services according to the specified terms.
- Invoice processing: After delivery or completion of services, the supplier sends an invoice for payment. The accounts payable software verifies the invoice against the corresponding purchase order from the SAP system.
- Documentation and Tracking: Accurate documentation and tracking of requisitions, purchase orders, invoices, and payments are essential. They ensure transparency, compliance, and effective financial management.
