    I would like to have a requisition form that is filled out and then has to go to a set of executives to be approved before being returned to me.

    Regarding to electronic signature, these widgets will help you with that:

    This guide will help you to add the widget to your form: How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-your-Form

    Regarding to the workflow you want to have, this will be achieved with conditions, for example, when the form is submitted the form should be sent to your executives so the submission can be reviewed and approved. 

    This guide will help you to add an email notification to your form: Setting-Up-Email-Notifications

    When executives receive the submission, they will be able to open the submitted form with the edit link, here you will show fields only to them, once this fields are filled the email notification can be sent to you too.

    This guide is for auto-responder, the email sent to your submitter, but it is the same for email notifications (the email your executives will receive), it will help you to include the edit link in the email: How-to-Let-Users-Update-Their-Form-Submissions-at-a-Later-Date
