| Purchase requisitions |  |
| 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. Purchase requisitions are used to enter non-system planned requirements for various types of items, including inventory items, cost items, and service items. The following item types cannot be used on requisitions: Subcontracting items Generic items List items (except for kit items) Equipment items 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. Purchase requisition procedure The purchase requisition procedure consists of the following steps: Set the purchase requisition parameters in the Purchase Requisition Parameters (tdpur0100m200) session.
