What is generally the nature of non-stock requisition items?

Non-stock requisition items are primarily characterized by being requested as a one-time unique purchase. These items are not regularly kept in inventory or stocked by the organization because they are typically needed for specific, often unique purposes rather than ongoing, routine use. This means that when a non-stock requisition is made, it is usually for something that is not part of the established inventory, and it may not be needed again in the foreseeable future.

In contrast, items ordered in bulk for future use are generally classified as stock items, which are regularly maintained in inventory. Similarly, items that are typically found in the warehouse are those that are routinely stocked and easily accessible, while those that require requests from multiple suppliers usually indicate a need for comparison or assurance of availability, which is not typically the case with non-stock items. Non-stock requisition items reflect a specific, immediate need, which is why their nature is aligned with unique, one-time purchases.
