Document background
The Purchase Requisition Form is a fundamental document in Australian organizational procurement processes, designed to standardize and control purchasing activities across all departments. This document is typically used at the initial stage of the procurement cycle, before any purchase orders are issued or commitments made to suppliers. It ensures that all purchases are properly justified, budgeted for, and approved by appropriate authorities. The form helps organizations comply with Australian procurement regulations, maintain internal controls, and create audit trails for procurement decisions. It is particularly important for public sector organizations that must adhere to Commonwealth Procurement Rules, but is equally valuable for private sector entities seeking to maintain proper governance over their procurement activities.
