Tips   Change or cancel a requisition

If a requisition specified a Delay Purchase Until date, the requisition's status remains Approved until the date the related orders are actually sent to suppliers, at which time the requisition's status changes to Ordered. If you need to change an approved requisition during the time it is on hold, click Edit when viewing the requisition's details. Once the requisition's status changes to Ordered, use the Change button to change the requisition

You must have the necessary permissions to change or cancel requisitions and to search for requisitions.

When you change or cancel a requisition (or delete all line items from a requisition), a new version of the requisition, identified by a version number such as V2, is created and submitted for approval. When a change order is approved, a new version of each order impacted by the change is generated and sent to suppliers. When a cancel order is approved, the requisition's status changes to Canceled and all orders associated with the canceled requisition are canceled.

If you change a requisition by deleting all line items associated with a specific purchase order, the order will be canceled after the new version of the requisition has been fully approved. If you delete all the line items on the requisition, the requisition and all associated purchase orders are canceled after the new version of the requisition has been fully approved.

A Deleted Line Items section appears on the Checkout screen when you delete items from a requisition whose status is Ordered and save the requisition without submitting it; or when an order associated with a requisition has been changed to delete items or canceled, and the change or cancel order cannot be pushed to an ERP system.
