Requisitions

A requisition is an internal request by a department to purchase goods/services. Once a requisition is fully approved by the appropriate University stakeholders, a purchase order is created from the approved requisition. Purchase orders are sent to vendors and are the official order from the University. Transactions made using a P-Card or LPC do not require a requisition. All other expenditures start with a requisition. It is a violation of University policy to place an order with a vendor prior to the issuance of a purchase order. Requisitions are not purchase orders and should not be treated as such.

Requisitions are submitted in the University's e-procurement system, Wolverine Marketplace.

Below is a representation of the workflow of a purchase made via the requisition/purchase order process.
