What is Requisition List?

Term
A requisition list is a reusable list of products and quantities saved by a B2B buyer for frequent or planned purchasing. Buyers can update the list, share it within a company, and add selected items to a cart when they are ready to order.
Unlike a one-time cart, a requisition list is intended to persist. Buyers can save commonly purchased products, standard office or maintenance supplies, approved project materials, or department-specific items and then reuse the list for future orders. In some organizations, lists may also be shared between users within the same company account.
Requisition lists are useful for:
• Repeated ordering of the same SKUs and quantities.
• Standardizing approved products for a team, branch, or job type.
• Preparing an order over time before it is submitted for approval.
• Reducing errors caused by re-entering product identifiers from spreadsheets or previous invoices.
When a list is converted into a cart, the commerce platform should still refresh price, stock, product status, and account eligibility. The list represents purchasing intent, not a guarantee that historical commercial conditions still apply. For B2B buyers, that balance provides the convenience of a saved template without bypassing current business rules.
Example: A facilities team can maintain a saved list of approved replacement supplies and use it as the starting point for monthly orders while the platform refreshes price and availability each time.
