SAP MM: Difference between Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order

In SAP MM, a purchase requisition is a formal request for the purchase of goods or services by an organization. It is an internal document that is used to inform the purchasing department of the materials or services that are required.

A purchase order, on the other hand, is a formal document that is sent to a vendor to place an order for specific goods or services. It outlines the quantity, price, delivery date, and terms of the purchase.

The main difference between a purchase requisition and purchase order is that a purchase requisition is an internal request for materials or services, while a purchase order is a formal agreement to purchase goods or services from a vendor.
