Explanation
A Purchase Requisition is an internal document submitted by a department to notify the purchasing team of what material or service is needed - it defines the requirements (specifications, quantity, timeline) before any supplier is contacted. A Purchase Order (B) comes later and is sent to the supplier to authorize the actual purchase, not define requirements. A Purchase Contract (C) is a legally binding agreement covering terms and conditions over time, not a requirements-definition document. A Request for Price (D) is sent to suppliers to obtain pricing, meaning requirements must already be defined before it's issued.
Memory tip: Think of the requisition as a "request from within" - it's the first step where someone inside the organization says what they need. Every other document flows from it.
