Last updated: June 20, 2026

Learn the concept
This is the step-by-step. For what it is and how it fits the bigger picture, read Requisition in the reference.

What this does

A requisition is an internal request to buy something. It starts the buying process and goes for approval before any money is committed.

Before you start

Access to Purchase, and you know what is needed.

Open Requisition

Go to Menu > Purchase > Requisition.

Steps

  1. Click Create. Set the Requestor, the Deliver to location and a Preferred Vendor if you have one.
  2. Add the Requirements (what you need and how much) and the Purpose.
  3. Use Confirm, or Submit for Review where approval is needed. A reviewer then uses Accept or Reject.

Good to know. A rejected requisition asks for a Verify reason, so the requestor knows what to change. Requisitions can also be raised automatically from a sales order or a manufacture order.
