Only authorized users can edit submitted requests. The permissions are set up by document type. See your Ariba Buyer system administrator for more information.

Use Edit to make minor changes to requests that have been submitted for your approval. For example, a purchasing agent might edit a requisition to set the correct supplier for an ad hoc purchase or to update pricing information.

When you click Edit, Ariba Buyer:

1. Displays the Comment dialog where you can enter comments.
2. Locks the document while you edit it, and leaves it locked until you click Save or Cancel.

If you make changes to a catalog item, such as changing the price or supplier, the catalog item is converted to a non-catalog item.
