Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

A purchase requisition is an internal document that the purchasing department uses to procure a particular quantity of a material or a service for a particular date. A purchase requisition can be created directly or indirectly.

  1. Directly: Directly means that a purchase requisition is created manually in the department that has the need. Whoever creates the purchase requisition determines which material or service in which quantity, and for which date have to be ordered.
  2. Indirectly: Indirectly means that the purchase requisition from another component is created automatically. Purchase requisitions can be created automatically in the following ways: 
  • Material requirement planning (MRP)

  • Maintenance orders

  • Planned orders

  • Networks
