Purchase requsitions can be initiated directly or indirectly.„Directly“ means that either someone from the requesting department or from a purchasing department enters a purchase requisition manually. The person creating the requisition determines what and how much to order, and the delivery date. Direct (manual) creation of purchase requisitions may happen with or without master records, via access to purchasing catalogs or via referencing technique. Referencing technique saves time especially for complex requisitions which requires a lot of manual data entry. The user can reference either to existing requisitions and to templates (general purchase requisition templates as well as specific templates for service specifications – so called MSS Model Service Specifications).

„Indirectly“ means that the purchase requisition is initiated via another SAP component. Indirect creation may happen via materials planning and control, via a network (from component PS Project System), via maintenance orders (from the components PM Plant Maintenance and Service Management), via production orders (from the component PP Production Planning and Control) or via a shopping cart (from components EBP Enterprise Buyer Professional).
