Purchase Requisitions Purchases

Lets staff request that stock be purchased for a location before a formal purchase order is raised.

The table lists each requisition's date, reference number, location, status, required-by date, and who added it. Filters narrow by business location, status, date range, and required-by date. Requisitions are a request stage that sits before purchase orders and purchases — they record what a location needs without committing to a supplier yet.

The Add button (requires purchase_requisition.create) opens the requisition form. A row can only be viewed (in a modal) or deleted (purchase_requisition.delete) — there is no edit action once a requisition has been saved.

Status (Ordered, Partial, Completed) is never set directly on this screen; it updates automatically when a purchase order or purchase is created and linked back to the requisition, the same way purchase order status is recalculated from received quantities.

Users with only purchase_requisition.view_own see just the requisitions they created; purchase_requisition.view_all shows every requisition for their permitted locations.
