Purchase requisition and purchase order
An internal form called a buy requisition is used to seek the acquisition of products or services. It could be an electronic form or a standard letter.

The competent authority must approve the purchase requisition prior to making the purchase. Purchase requisition and purchase order are often submitted by employees who need certain goods or services in order to carry out their duties. In order to ensure that only authorised purchases are made throughout the procurement process, buy requisitions are an essential part of the process. Also, they assist in creating a record of what has been requested, which can be beneficial for budgeting and auditing purposes.
