When the requisition is created, it receives the Planned status. To
continue the workflow, the requisition must be activated, i.e., released. To
release an entire requisition, go to the Purchase
Requisition page and then click Release. An alternative method
is to select the requisition in the
Purchase Requisitions
page, and then click Release. You can do the same for requisition lines
in the Purchase Requisition
Lines page.
Note: If an express purchase requisition
(i.e., order code 5) is released, it will also create a purchase order
with order code 5. However, an express purchase requisition in inter-site
context will create a purchase order with order code 4.
The requisition is activated and ready to continue in the workflow. The status is updated from Planned to Released.
If any of the lines does not require authorization, the line is converted into a purchase order. The created purchase order is automatically released and printed, and the status of the requisition line is changed to PO Created.
