purchase requisition
Explanation:
This is the solution given in Leo. (Just plain "requisition" is offered as an alternative.) It doesn't mention "order requisition", but I don't think that's wrong, because "Bestellung" usually means "order", so it would make perfect sense for "Bestellanforderung" to mean "order requisition".

I think both this solution and e-rich's one are right. So it comes down to what you prefer to use. Hope this has helped.

The phrase \"purchase requisition\" actually gets a lot more hits than \"order requisition\", though there are plenty for the latter. However, the phrase as \"purchase order requisition\" came up quite a few times in the \"order requisition\" search, so maybe you can combine our two ideas!

From the additional info provided by Ulrike, it looks like I\'ve actually hit on the right answer this time (unlike with Einkaufsinfosatz ...)
