Frequently asked questions
What is a purchase requisition for?
A purchase requisition is an internal document an employee or department uses to request approval to buy goods or services BEFORE a purchase order is issued to a supplier. It documents what is needed, the estimated cost, and who is asking, so a manager or finance team can sign off before any money is committed.
Who typically needs a purchase requisition?
Employees or department heads who need to request spend approval — for example ordering supplies, software, or services above a threshold that requires sign-off. Once approved, the requisition is normally converted into a formal purchase order sent to the supplier.
What is the difference between a purchase requisition and a purchase order?
A purchase requisition is an internal, pre-approval request that never goes to the supplier. A purchase order is the external document sent to the supplier once the spend is approved, and it becomes the basis for the supplier’s invoice.
