Purchase requisitions

You create a purchase requisition to gain approval to obtain the materials from the vendor. You can also use a purchase requisition record when you do not have sufficient privileges to create a purchase order directly.

In the purchase requisition, you create a line item for each item to be purchased. You send the purchase requisition through the distribution group to get feedback or authorization. For example, the distribution group might include the purchasing or finance departments. If the distribution group approves the record, the line items in the purchase requisition record can be associated with the purchase order record.
