The requisition workflow is an important and integral part of the E-commerce

industry Request that are made to the front end employee (not necessarily an E-
commerce company in fact; it can be for most organizations). The request is then
validated against certain parameters, checked for availability and then sent for
approval. These checks are necessary as they keep a tab on who is authorized to
make requests for what, whether the requested item is in stock and whether the
request can be financially viable as well.
