Creating a requisition is done by Department Requestors to order goods and services.  A requisition goes through approval processes based on amount and items ordered.  Amount only orders are issued for a specified time period at an estimated total dollar amount to encumber funds and/or establish a purchasing arrangement with a vendor for a period of time, for orders of miscellaneous items or recurring orders of small value items.  After the requisition is approved it is sourced into a Purchase Order then sent to the appropriate vendor.
