1 Creating the Purchase Requisition in Oracle Step 1. Home Page - Select Requisitions on the left hand side of your Oracle Home Page as indicated below: This process will take some time because three browser windows will open up.

If you are not sure which one to select, please contact Purchasing at extension Step 4. Category Type These is used to identify the commodity that you are wanting to purchase. A commodity is an article of trade or commerce, esp. a product as distinguished from a service; something of use, advantage, or value.
