| # Requisition Status Created The purchase requisition is manually created by the requester and is ready to be submitted for approval. Pending Approval The requisition is ready to be approved by a valid approving department or a valid approver. The approver or the approving department must be a valid employee or a valid department on the approver list. The approver can also reject the requisition if, for example, modifications are required. Approved The requisition is approved and ready to be converted to a request-for-quotation or a purchase order. If the External Approval check box is cleared in the Purchase Requisition Parameters (tdpur0100m200) session, the approver list determines how many approvers must approve the requisition. Only approver departments that are purchase offices and individual approvers from the purchase office are allowed to perform final approval on a purchase requisition. Converted A buyer can convert a requisition with the Approved status to a request-for-quotation (RFQ) or a purchase order. The actual conversion happens when the Convert Purchase Requisitions (tdpur2201m000) session is executed. At this time, the requisition status is changed to Converted and the requisition history data is updated. A converted requisition can be deleted. Deleted After a requisition is deleted from the active file, the requisition is automatically posted to history with the status Deleted. The requisition can only be deleted if the current status is Converted or Canceled. Rejected If an approver or approving department does not agree with a purchase requisition, it can be rejected. A purchase requisition can be rejected if it has the status Pending Approval. Modified A requester can modify a Rejected requisition. To change a rejected requisition to Modified, change any header or line and save the change. Next, the modified requisition can be resubmitted for approval. Canceled A requisition with the Created, Modified, or Rejected status can be canceled by the requester. A canceled requisition cannot be changed. |
