Purchase Requisition
A purchase requisition is an internal request to obtain goods or services, usually reviewed before a buyer commits to a supplier.
Definition
In general ERP practice
A purchase requisition is an internal request to obtain goods or services, usually reviewed before a buyer commits to a supplier. It differs from a purchase order sent to the supplier.
In Odoo
Odoo Purchase’s RFQs and purchase agreements are the closest documented purchasing functions, but an RFQ is supplier-facing rather than an internal requisition. A formal employee request and approval workflow must be configured separately instead of renaming every RFQ a requisition.
