# Create purchase orders from purchase order requisitions

You can use purchase order requisitions to partially automate the process of adding items to a purchase order. With the Purchase Order Requisition wizard you can automatically add items to the requisition based on reorder information or recent sales. You can also add items based on department, category, or supplier, or use the filter to identify which items to add. When you commit a requisition a purchase order is created.

1. Click **Inventory/Purchasing**.
2. Click **Purchase Order Requisition**.

3. Enter the **Order Date**.

* **Order items based on re-order information:** Select this option if you want to use the Reorder Point and Restock Level defined for the item to add items and quantities to the purchase order requisition. If selected, an item is only added to the purchase order requisition if the current in stock quantity is below the defined reorder point.
