Purchase Requisitions
The Purchase Requisitions list page shows all internal purchase requests in the system. A purchase requisition (PR) is an internal document that requests approval to purchase goods or services. Once approved, PRs can generate Requests for Quotation (RFQs) and Purchase Orders (POs).

Accessing the Page
Section titled “Accessing the Page”Navigate to Commerce → Procurement → Purchase Requisitions in the sidebar, or go to /commerce/procurement/requisitions.
- This page is currently DEV-gated and only visible in development environments.
- Only Draft PRs can be edited and deleted.
- Approving a PR authorizes it for purchasing; the PR cannot be returned to Draft after approval without using Revert to Draft.
- A Short-close action is available for Approved PRs with remaining open quantity. This closes the PR without fulfilling all lines, with a required reason.
- From an Approved PR, you can create an RFQ or a Purchase Order directly using the New from PR actions on those pages.
- The PR open quantity decreases as linked POs are confirmed.
