Purchase requisition statuses

Once a purchase requisition has been created, you use the purchase requisition status to indicate where it is in the processing cycle.

Changing statuses on purchase requisitions affects both field functionality and access to various action pages. You can change the status of multiple purchase requisitions at the same time by using the List tab.

Purchase requisitions can have the following statuses:

Waiting for Approval (WAPPR)
WAPPR is the status that a purchase requisition is assigned when it is created. Some default fields are read-only.
Approved (APPR)
APPR status is available only if your business rules require approvals. The default configuration does not require approvals for purchase requisitions and purchase requisition line items that your transfer to purchase requisitions. You must have a monetary approval limit equal to or greater than the total cost of the purchase order. Your system administrator sets approval limits for each user.
Closed (CLOSE)
CLOSE status indicates that all the purchase requisitions line items have been assigned to one or more purchase orders. All fields are read only, and the record can no longer be modified. If you try to close a purchase requisition and a line item has not yet been assigned, a message is displayed. Your system administrator can set the system to automatically close purchase requisitions once you transfer all the line items to purchase orders, requests for quotations, or contracts.
Canceled (CAN)
CAN status is available if the current purchase requisition status is Approved (APPR) and if none of its line items have been assigned to a purchase order. All fields are read only, and a record can no longer be modified.
