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.
