What are Requisitions

← 4. Requisitions
A Requisition is a request sent to the purchasing department to procure goods or services. It is originated and approved by the department requiring the goods or services. Typically, it contains a description and quantity of the goods or services to be purchased, preferred make, a required delivery date, The names of suggested supply sources may also be included within notes to the Requisition.

A Requisition is owned by the originating department and should not be changed by the purchasing department without obtaining approval from the originating department.

A Requisition is NOT a purchase order and therefore should never be used to purchase goods or services or be used as an authorization to pay an invoice from a supplier or service provider

In TMMS, the overall process is initiated by a user with access creating a Requisition for an Item or a Service. The system workflow then allows the requisition to be
  • Submitted;
  • Approved by the Departmental Budget Owner;
  • Catalogued (Verified) by the Warehouse Manager;
  • Reviewed, Allocated to a Buyer and Approved by the Supply Chain Manager;

The Approved Requisition then forms the basis for all of the processes in the Requisitioning lifecycle, ie
  • the "Quotation Process":{TOPIC-LINK+quotations} and
  • the "Purchase Order":{TOPIC-LINK+purchase-orders} Process
