What is a Requisition Worksheet in Business Central?

A planning tool in Business Central used to create purchase suggestions and consolidate demand before issuing purchase orders.

The Requisition Worksheet in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a planning and procurement tool that helps buyers create, review, and manage purchase suggestions before converting them into purchase orders.

It acts as a staging area where demand from different sources — sales orders, production orders, manual entries, or tools like Zentriq PunchOut — can be consolidated, reviewed, and grouped by vendor before creating official purchase orders.

Key features of the Requisition Worksheet include: vendor assignment, item reference validation, quantity and unit price management, and the ability to carry out action messages to generate purchase orders automatically.

Zentriq PunchOut creates Requisition Worksheet lines directly from e-commerce cart data. This means items captured from any supplier website land in the Requisition Worksheet with vendor, item reference, quantity, and unit price pre-filled — ready for review and purchase order creation.
