Requisition Lists page (B2B)

In this page, customers can view a list of their current requisition lists, create a requisition list, and upload a requisition list from a file. Customers can click any list to view the items it contains, and they can add the requisition list items to their current order. A requisition list is a reusable list of items (SKUs) that customers can use to create orders.

The customer who creates the requisition list can set the privacy setting to shared or private:
Shared requisition list
All customers who belong to the same organization can view and use the list. However, only the customer who created the list can edit and delete the list.
Private requisition list
Only the customer who created the requisition list can view, use, edit, and delete the list.

If the customer has uploaded any requisition lists from a CSV file in the last 20 days, a File upload status section is displayed at the top of the page. The status of each upload attempt is also displayed.
