What is an EDI 511 Requisition?

The EDI 511 transaction can be used for the following purposes: 

  • To requisition equipment and required material from a supply distribution system for prompt utilization or stockage against projected requirements 
  • It is used by the originator for amending or terminating the original requisition 
  • It is used to evaluate and meet the material need of the originator by conveying a description and quantity of the required material, delivery and billing details, and other necessary logistics information. 

This transaction set cannot form a contract between trading partners, but can be used in precedence to a purchase order.
