Overview
This article teaches how to create a requisition in Oracle Procurement based on a multi-line quote provided by a supplier.
Essential Information
- Creating a requisition from a multi-line quote using this method results in the fewest invoice holds and payment delays.
- The punchouts below offer quote retrieval, which is a faster way of creating a quote-based requisition than entering the quote line by line:
- B&H Photo

- Dell
- Fastenal
- Grainger
- Fisher Scientific
- HD Supply
- SHI

- Refer to our other articles for more general walkthroughs on punchouts and request forms:
- Duplicating lines during checkout can be faster than filling out the same form multiple times.
- Double-checking each line before checking out ensures information is populated correctly.
- Do NOT create a line item for shipping.
- Do NOT include tax in the amount when completing the request form.
- A full list of purchasing categories can be found on Blink.
