Purchase Requistion - An overview

A Purchase Requisition (PR) is used to give notification of requirements  and also keep track of such requirements. Requisitions can be created either directly or indirectly. "Directly" means that someone from the requesting department enters a purchase requisition manually. The person creating the requisition determines what and how much to order and the delivery date. "Indirectly" means that the purchase requisition is initiated through another component. Purchase requisitions can be subject to a release (clearance, or approval) procedure. The appropriate authority can turn down the request wholly or partly.

This component will be interacting mainly with part details and vendor details. The items in the PR created will be validated for the ordering and receiving organization units. Then the items will be forwarded for order processing. This component is intended to create PR only for purchasable items, defined in the "Part Administration" Component.
