Procure To Pay Cycle

1) Create Requisition:

Requisition is nothing but a formal request to buy something (like Inventory material, office supplies etc) needed for the enterprise. Only an employee can create one. There are two types of requisitions:
Internal Requisition: Internal requisitions provide the mechanism for requesting and transferring material from one inventory to other inventory.
Purchase requisition: Unlike Internal requisitions, Purchase requisitions are used for requesting material from suppliers.
Once the requistion is created, the status of the requisition will be “Incomplete”. And now the Approve button is highlighted. The requisition needs to be approved first before proceeding further by the concerned authority. Submit this requisition for Approval by clicking on the Approve button. The status will now be updated to “In Process”. The workflow then will send an Approval notification to the concerned person (derived based on hierarchy used - Position or Supervisor hierarchy) using which he can Approve or Reject the requisition.
