Purchase requisitions are SAP-internal documents created in requirements planning to request the purchasing department to procure a particular quantity of a material or service for a particular date.

The purchase requisition can be created either manually by the department in charge or automatically by material requirements planning (MRP). The SAP system transfers data from the material master to the purchase requisition when creating a purchase requisition. The purchasing department converts the purchase requisition in either a request for quotation (RFQ) or a purchase order.
