Purchase Requisitions

Purchase requisitions are used to request for the acquisition of specified items or services, to which you can provide vendor information and responses. 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 Vantagepoint database.
  • Create a new purchase requisition and specify the items for it.
  • Print a purchase requisition.
  • Approve a purchase requisition.

Notifications and Links to Purchasing Records

You can access purchasing records from other applications and areas of Vantagepoint.

When you have access to the Purchasing application and to the project associated with the purchasing record, the record displays as a hyperlink in a grid. In addition, the Notification Center displays an approval action item for a purchasing record.

Multiple Currencies

If you use multiple currencies, not the following:
  • You can create a purchase order from more than one purchase requisition.
  • They must all be in the same transaction currency.

Multiple Companies

If you use multiple companies, note the following:

  • 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 vendors 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.
