Overview
A Requisition is how you request the Products a job needs. Requisitions are raised on an Assignment — when a work order calls for parts, you add them to the Assignment as a requisition, drawing from a source Warehouse. Fulfilling the requisition moves the stock and ties what was used back to the job that needed it. This article covers raising one on an Assignment and fulfilling it.

Why this matters: Raising requisitions on the Assignment ties stock to the work that consumes it. You get a controlled, recorded release from the Warehouse and a clear answer to "what parts did this job use?" — instead of stock leaving a shelf with no link to why.
How a Requisition flows
Raised on an Assignment — from a work order, you list the Products and quantities needed and the source Warehouse to draw from. The Assignment is the requisition's origin.
Fulfilled — the request is actioned, moving the requested stock out of the source Warehouse to the job.
Recorded — the movement shows in the affected Products' stock history and stays linked to the Assignment.
Raise a Requisition on an Assignment
Open the Assignment
Open the Assignment that needs the parts. Requisitions are raised from within the Assignment, so the stock request is tied to that job from the start. For Assignments themselves, see How to create and delegate an Assignment.
Add a Requisition
Add a Requisition to the Assignment, then add a line for each Product, its quantity, and the source Warehouse to draw it from. Submit it for fulfilment.
Note: Different lines can draw from different source Warehouses if needed — useful when no single Warehouse holds everything the job requires.
Fulfil a Requisition
Fulfilling a Requisition releases the requested stock. Open the Requisition and complete its fulfilment to move the Products out of the source Warehouse to the job. Stock levels and history update to reflect the movement, and the requisition stays linked to its Assignment.
Best practice: Fulfil against what's physically handed over. If you can only supply part of a request, fulfil what you actually release so stock levels stay honest, and follow up on the remainder rather than fulfilling stock that hasn't moved.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Where do I raise a Requisition?
A: On an Assignment. Requisitions are part of the work order — you add the Products a job needs from within the Assignment, so the stock request and the job stay linked.
Q: What's the difference between a Requisition and a transfer?
A: A transfer is you moving stock between Warehouses directly. A Requisition is a request for the Products a job needs, raised on its Assignment and then fulfilled. See Adjusting and transferring stock.
Q: Can one Requisition pull from several Warehouses?
A: Yes. Each line can specify its own source Warehouse, so a single Requisition can gather Products from more than one location.
Q: Does fulfilling a Requisition change stock levels?
A: Yes. Fulfilment moves the stock out of the source Warehouse and records it in the Products' stock history. See Warehouses and stock levels.
