Once the sales document is approved, the purchase requisition is created.

Note:
The automatic creation of the purchase requisition can only be deferred when a sales order is created in a standard process.
In a scenario where the purchase requisition is created during a scheduled or manual material requirements planning (MRP) run, the creation of the purchase requisition is not deferred, even though the sales document is in approval.
