To import one purchase request, read this article.

You can also import several purchase requests at once.

To start, go to any of the purchase orders listing pages.

Add all your data into one spreadsheet. The differentiators are the Departments and Suppliers. So if you have a few rows with the same supplier and department, that will make up different line items of the same purchase request.
