After the Purchase Requisition is submitted, what is the next process that typically occurs?

Once a Purchase Requisition is submitted, it enters a critical review phase wherein the Procurement Office evaluates the request for compliance with procurement policies and budget considerations. This step is essential because it ensures that the requisition aligns with organizational needs and that all required approvals are obtained before any purchases are made. During this review, the Procurement Office verifies the accuracy of the information provided, assesses the necessity of the items requested, and confirms that budgetary constraints are upheld. Only after the requisition has been thoroughly vetted and approved does the process move forward to vendor selection and subsequent steps such as ordering and delivery. This structured approach helps to maintain financial accountability and operational efficiency within the purchasing process.
