	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The purchase requisition procedure is designed for the non-purchasing user (someone who may not know the standard procedures in purchasing). For example, engineers can order material and/or services, but they do not need to understand the entire purchasing process to do so. <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000153" role="glossary" Update="No">Purchase requisitions</Link> are used to enter non-system planned requirements for various types of items, including inventory items, <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000059" role="glossary">cost items</Link>, and <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000156" role="glossary">service items</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>The following item types cannot be used on requisitions:</ListIntro>

		<Paragraph>Purchase requisitions are created in the same manner as all other buy/sell documents (for example, purchase orders and sales orders) with one significant difference: on a requisition, the item code and buy-from business partner codes can be blank. This difference means that the requester can make a request for a new item or make a request from a new buy-from business partner.</Paragraph>
