What is a Purchase Requisition?
• A request or instruction to Purchasing
to procure a quantity of a material or
service so that it is available at a
certain point in time.
• Requisitions may be created manually
by the user community or they may be
created by MRP when inventory for an
item falls below reorder point.
What Information is Included in a Purchase
Requisition?
• What is to be purchased?
• How much is to be purchased?
• How much does it cost?
• Who’s paying for it?
• When is it needed?
• Where does it go when it arrives?
• What additional information is needed,
relative to this purchase?
What is To Be Purchased?
• Determine if it is a material or a service.
• If it is a material, is there a material
master for the item?
• If it is a service, what activities are to
be included in the service?
How Much is To Be Purchased?
• The user must specify the quantity to
be purchased, with the appropriate
unit of measure.
• If a material master is used for the item,
the unit of measure defaults from the
material master; else, the user must
define.
• For Services, the unit of measure is
always AU (activity unit).
How Much Does it Cost?
• What is the unit price of the item?
• This, together with the quantity
requested, will be extended to a total
cost of the requisition line item.
• The total cost of the line item will be a
factor in determining who needs to
approve the purchase request.
Who’s Paying for It?
• What type of purchase is it?
• What department is paying for it?
• What fund is providing the money?
• This information also becomes a factor
in determining who needs to approve
the purchase request.
When is it Needed?
• An expected delivery date must be
entered.
• This may be the date agreed to by the
supplier at the time contact was made
by the requisitioner or a requested
delivery date with no contact with the
supplier.
Where Does it Go When it Arrives?
• If the material is to be received into
inventory, what plant and storage
location should it be received to?
• If the material is non-inventory, to what
building/room number should it be
delivered and who should receive it?
• If this is a service, only the plant need
be entered.
What Additional Information is Needed?
• Requisitioner – name of the person
creating the requisition
• Desired Vendor – vendor number for
the supplier from whom the material or
service is to be provided
• Purchasing Group – responsible buyer
for the purchase
• Tracking number

How Do I Enter Texts? And Where?
• Sometimes, additional information is
needed on a requisition.
• Free text can be entered either at the
header or line item level.
• Depending on the type of information,
the user can enter texts or notes
• Texts are external; notes are internal
Example of Header Note
• This information should not print on the
purchase order document
• Example of new Vendor information
Example of Item Text
• Since the requisition only allows 40
places for item description, the item
text can be used to supplement the
information
Do I Have to Type Everything In?
• SAP provides a standard text option
• Standard text allows for the definition
of frequently used text, which can be
used in multiple documents
• These standard text objects must be
defined in advance
• These objects can be included in
header notes or item texts.
How Do I Use Standard Text?

How Do I Note Discounts or Surcharges?

for purchase, the document does not
include pricing conditions.
• The requisition entry should include a
header note for the buyer to include
the discount or surcharge, including
the value or percentage.
