PR (Purchase Requisition)

Purchase Requisition

Internal request asking the purchasing function to procure specified goods or services.

Examples

  1. 01Maintenance raises a PR for a replacement gearbox, and purchasing turns it into a purchase order once the cost-centre manager approves.
  2. 02The buyer checks each PR for budget approval, a clear specification and whether a framework agreement already covers the item.
  3. 03PRs left unapproved for more than 3 days are escalated automatically, which cuts the average time to order from 6 days to 2.
