Completing Requisitions

A requisition is completed when all its detail lines have a Completed status (Yes appears in the Completed column or field).

You complete requisitions by:

• Posting purchase orders for all the requisitioned items.

• Canceling outstanding requisition details.

• Specifying an expiration date, then automatically clearing the requisition during Day End processing.

When you post a purchase order for a requisition detail line, the line is automatically completed, whether you ordered the full quantity or not. Once a detail line is completed, you cannot change it, even if you want to order the remaining quantity. However, you can still create purchase orders for quantities that remained unordered when the requisition detail was completed.

When you post a purchase order for all the outstanding details on a requisition, the requisition is completed. You cannot make further changes to the completed details, but you can add details to a completed requisition, making it active again.

If you do not keep history, completed requisitions are deleted from your Purchase Orders system the next time you run Day End processing. You can also delete completed requisitions by displaying the requisition in the Requisition Entry form, then choosing the Delete button.
