This available via the Approvals App:

Note: you can rename it to Purchase Requisition if you prefer.

Once the request is approved, you can create the RFQ:

In Odoo (both Community and Enterprise editions) , the standard purchase flow is:

Request for Quotation (RFQ) → Purchase Order (PO) → Receipt/Bill

However, Purchase Requisition (PR) is a separate and optional workflow , mainly available in the Enterprise Edition via the "Purchase Requisition (Procurement Tenders)" module.

Step-by-Step Flow with Purchase Requisition (Enterprise Edition):

1. Activate Purchase Requisitions

• Go to Apps , search for "Purchase Requisition" or "Purchase Agreements" , and install it.
• This enables the Purchase Agreement feature under the Purchase module.

2. Create a Purchase Requisition (PR)

• Navigate to Purchase → Purchase Agreements
• Click Create :
  • Agreement Type : Choose "Purchase Tender" or create your custom type like "Service PR" or "Inventory PR"
  • Add products (service or inventory items)
  • Set quantities and required dates
  • Confirm the PR

3. Send RFQs to Vendors

• After confirming the PR, click "New Quotation" .
• Odoo lets you create multiple RFQs from the same PR for different vendors.
• These RFQs are linked to the PR .

4. Compare RFQs and Confirm Best Offer

• Once vendors respond, you can compare quotations.
• Confirm the best quotation → It becomes a Purchase Order .
• Other quotations can be canceled or kept for reference.

5. Goods Receipt / Invoice

• For Inventory Items : Use warehouse to receive products.
• For Service Items : Can skip delivery, go directly to invoicing.
• Validate and process invoices as usual.

Does PR Flow Automatically to PO?

Yes — the flow is automatic (only in Enterprise):

• PR → RFQ → PO → Delivery/Invoice
• The RFQs are generated from PR and when one is confirmed , it becomes the PO.

For Community Edition?

There is no official Purchase Requisition feature in Odoo Community by default.

Options:

1. Use Custom Module (from Odoo Apps Store or custom dev)
2. Manual workaround :
   • Use internal Request for Quotation document (customized form/view)
   • Or create a project task/form as a pseudo-PR
   • Then create RFQ manually from that
