Purchase requisitions overview

A purchase requisition (PR) is a written request issued internally to a purchasing department to order items or services. The creation of a purchase requisition sets off a chain reaction of activities as outlined in the purchasing process.

You can create the following types of purchase requisitions:

• Internal purchase requisitions: requesting the transfer of materials from another company storeroom.
• External purchase requisitions: requesting the purchase of the necessary materials from an outside vendor. You can specify the vendor.
