I would say that screen mockups or wirescreens are only required when someone asks for them or when you feel you need them to further elaborate on the requirements. The BA is not a designer. It would not be out of line to discuss the requirement with the Designer to get a mockup from him---first go to the PM. Ask the PM if this can be added into the Project Plan because it will prevent rework for everyone involved once the requirements are signed off. You can schedule mockup review sessions with the business users as you develop your requirements and this way the users will change whatever needs to be changed before requirements are stable, etc. If you don't have a designer, then you can throw something together roughly to demonstrate visually what you are trying to communicate with the requirements.

Wireframes are usually used during the Funcitonal Specification document it describes how the proposed screens should look like. Again this depends on what kind of methodology is used and template.

Agreed to both of the points mentioned above...also Wireframes are used during the 'Prototype phase'
