What is Requisition-to-Order Process?

The requisition-to-order process refers to the workflow that begins when a buyer identifies a need for goods or materials and ends when a purchase order (PO) is submitted to a supplier. In manufacturing and distribution, this process is critical to operational continuity, inventory control, and timely fulfillment.

Traditionally handled through emails, spreadsheets, or manual ERP inputs, the requisition-to-order cycle is often plagued by delays, errors, and fragmented communication—especially when relying on non-integrated systems or PDF-based requisitions.

Why It Matters

Procurement delays or inaccuracies can disrupt production schedules, inflate costs, and damage supplier relationships. An inefficient requisition-to-order process can also prevent organizations from scaling procurement operations without increasing headcount. By automating this process, companies gain:

• Faster turnaround on approved requisitions
• Improved PO accuracy and compliance
• Better visibility into purchasing activity
• Stronger supplier collaboration and performance
