View Requisitions

You can view Requisitions placed between your Community and Suppliers using the View Requisitions page within the Marketplace module. For Buyers, the Requisitions found in these pages may be limited to those placed by them or others in their Organization Unit.

To find out how to change the Buyer default for searches see User/Buyer Search Filter Default.

View Requisitions

To view Requisitions you have access to, go to Transactions > View Requisitions in the Marketplace Module. Here you will find a list displaying Requisitions will be filtered to the last 90 days. 

You can find more filters by clicking the downwards arrow above the current list of Requisitions. These include Supplier, Time Period (Created Date) State, Buyer, Organization Unit, and Work Order (if applicable). You can search for the exact Requisition number using the Requisition Number field. 

Columns in the View Requisitions screen can also be used for Sorting. The available columns to sort the Requisitions are - Requisition (by alphanumeric order), Buyer (by username A-Z & vice versa), Supplier (by supplier name A-Z & vice versa), Type (by type A-Z & vice versa, eg: Blanket first), State (by state A-Z & vice versa, eg: Abandoned first), Created (oldest date first or newest) and by Totals (lowest amount first or highest).

To view the Requisition details click on the Requisition Number. There are different tabs on the Requisition screen to show the Items, Approvals, Justifications (if enabled and a Justification is included) and Comments.
