Purchase Requisition in sap is a first phase of P2P (Process to Pay) Cycle in SAP. After Determining the Material or requirement of materials we will proceed the purchase requisition process. To know more about P2P (Process to Pay) Cycle please check our previous post or click on below link.

Procurement in every organization starts with determining requirements. Once requirements are collected, we need to inform the purchasing organization about organization requirements.

SAP Purchase Requisition is a document that contains a list of required materials, services, or goods. Purchase requisition is a request that is made to the purchasing organization to procure a required list of materials.

SAP Purchase requisition number is an internal document number generated and remains within the organization. Purchase requisition needs approval from the purchase organization for further process. Purchase requisition can be generated from the following procurement types-

• Standard – Receiving required materials from vendor, for example we need thread or button we directly placed the standard order to vendor.
• Subcontracting– It is like job work process provided raw materials to vendor and vendor will process the raw material to finished product, for example we ask for job work to vendor of our pullover which is not washed in this case we will ask to vendor for job work of washing and placed the subcontracting to vendor for washing.
• Consignment-Purchasing material that is kept in organization storage location and paying to vendor for that. It is used in contract of carriage.
• Stock transfer – Transferring material within same organization, for example plant A required some raw material but it’s not available at plant A in this case plant A will ask for the required material to other plant like B if this materials stock is available at plant B.
