Turning a Requisition into a Purchase Order

You can turn a requisition that contains items to be purchased into a purchase order. The purchase order can then be reviewed if necessary, printed, and sent to the supplier.

A requisition must have the ‘Planned’ status before it can be turned into a purchase order. Please see Marking Requisitions as Planned. If requisition approvals are being used, you must first approve the requisition before it can be used to create a purchase order. Please see Sending Requisitions for Approval.

To Turn a Requisition into a Purchase Order

1.	From the site, select the Requisitions view.

2.	Select the Requisitions tab and then the Requisitions tab.

3.	From the Open Requisitions configuration list, double-click the requisition that you want to turn into a purchase order. The Requisition window opens.

4.	Review each line on the requisition to verify that you want to include it on a purchase order.
