Any company here who uses Requisitions? Any reason why you went with that over Purchase Request?
s
so you can consolidate multiple reqs or chnage the vendors without any issues. Note - vendors not required for reqs. classic procure to pay process is Requisitions > PO>Receipt >Bill >Payment

Thanks @Sam-I-Am. Can you give an example where you have to change the vendor? Reason I asked is I want to validate if Requisition is more of an industry specific process. Example in our company, we want to procure licenses for GSuite and this Requisition process that we have is causing some issues due to the Order Items page.

suppose an employee ordered a laptop from Dell but procurement got better deal on it from CDW so they assigned CDW as the vendor in order requisition page and created a PO for CDW from that req. This scenario works when you have multiple vendors for same products. Also multiple requisitions can be consolidated to create single PO for vendors, a requisition can have items from multiple vendors subsequently. For predefined items and services with fixed vendors it is best practice to start the procure to pay process from PO stage instead of requisition stage otherwise it would be a redundant process by starting at requisition. https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/article_162444983707.html
