Modifying purchase requisitions


In the Mid Tier interface, you can search and modify purchase requisitions or purchase line items that you have created and submitted.  

Purchase requisition states

A purchase requisition can be in any of the following states, depending on the stage at which the purchase requisition is: 

  • In Preparation — The requester is modifying the purchase requisition.
  • Pending Pricing — The purchase requisition has been routed to Purchasing for pricing.
  • Quote In Progress — The purchase requisition is in Purchasing and is being priced.
  • On Hold — The requester or the approver suspended the purchase requisition.
  • Pending Approval — The purchase requisition is pending approval. In this state, you can reduce the number of items or remove items. You cannot add new items.

For the above states, you can modify or remove purchase items.
