Understanding Purchase Requisition

A Purchase Requisition is the request from a department/employee to its purchase team for buying any stock for their own use or for sale. A request for it is first reviewed by the Purchase Department after which an approval or rejection is given depending upon the feasibility and need. It is after the approval that a Purchase Order is created
