Requisitions in Banner.
Why do a Purchase Requisition?
Besides 'to buy something' there are other reasons to do a requisition:
- Purchase Orders (PO): When a Vendor requests a Purchase Orders (PO), start with a Requisition.
- To Encumber Funds: As soon as the Requisition is approved, the funds are obligated and will show up as committments in your Budget.
- For Later Reference: Requisitions are stored in Banner so past purchases can be viewed.
What do I need before I start?
The following are key features needed before creating a requisition:
- Locate and verify funding is available prior to purchase. Review Finance reports in Reporting Services (suggested reports listed below), HEERF, and Foundation.
- Select a Vendor. A listing of State Vendors can be found on the Purchasing Website: Purchasing Supplier Contract Awards.
