Create a requisition with the right context

Start from Requisitions

Choose New Requisition. Enter an optional friendly Name, select the required Location and set Required By when needed. Then choose Create Requisition.

Choose a name that helps another buyer or approver understand the purpose, rather than repeating an internal number.

Next steps

Add products, check quantities and delivery details, and complete required accounting information. Follow the requisition’s available submission or approval actions only after review.
