Purchase Requisitions

The purchase requisitions feature is optional in Purchasing. You can create purchase orders without using it.

Use the purchase requisitions feature to:

• Open a purchase requisition that is in the Deltek database.
• Create a new purchase requisition and specify the items for it.
• Print a purchase requisition.
• Approve a purchase requisition.

If you use multiple currencies, you can create a purchase order from more than one purchase requisition. They must all be in the same transaction currency.

If you use multiple currencies, each purchase requisition is owned by a specific company. When you look up a purchase requisition, the search results list displays the purchasing requisitions that belong to the active company. The vendor records that are available are those with accounting set up for the active company.

Approvals and Purchasing

You can choose whether or not purchase requisitions, request for price quotes, and purchase orders (including change orders and release orders) must go through an approval process. See Approval Process for Purchasing Applications Overview for more information, including the procedures for reassigning an approval step and assigning a delegate to complete approvals in your absence.
