What is a Stores Requisition?

A stores requisition is a form that a user fills out when removing parts from storage. The form is used by the organization's cost accounting system to charge the cost of the parts to a job, as well as to track inventory levels. The information to be added to the form includes the following:

Removal date
Job number to be charged
Part number and description
Number of units removed
Approval signature

A stores requisition is used in a manual materials handling process. In a computerized system, a bar code scanner is typically used to automatically load most of this information into a database.
