A requisition is a request to staff a specific project with labor resources. The chief benefit of requisitions is planning. If you bypass a requisition and assign a resource directly to a project, you could jeopardize your own project. This is because you are assigning the resource without knowing much about the other projects the resource might be working on. Hence, you can overburden the resource or assign the wrong resource. Requisition recipients tend to be resource managers who are knowledgeable about the workloads of their resources. Thus, when you submit a requisition, you are allowing the right person to assign the most appropriate resources, in terms of availability and skills, to the projects you want to fill.
You can use resource requisitioning to do the following:
As you work, keep in mind that requisitions are project-specific, which means that you cannot create a requisition that staffs multiple projects at the same time. Each requisition contains a request for only one staffing requirement and can serve only one project.
Note: See the Project Management User Guide for more information.
