How to Track a Purchase Requisition

A Purchase Requisition is a document submitted by an employee to request the purchase of goods or services on behalf of the company. These purchases may be for business operations, inventory, or to manufacture supplies for sale. Submitting a purchase requisition form sets off the purchasing process.

Track Purchase Requisitions using Statuses and Roles

All operations with Purchase Requisitions can be tracked by status. The PR document has 7 statuses:

1. Draft — Purchase Request was created but not submitted yet. The initiator is still working on it.
2. Pending — the document was submitted and is waiting for approval from the authorized user. 
3. Approved — all responsible users have approved the Purchase Requisition.
4. Completed — there is a completed Purchase Order/Orders for all requested items, or PR is manually marked as completed.
5. Rejected — the document or all items were rejected at the PR approval stage or Purchase Order creation stage.
6. In Revision — a reviewer (either the Purchase Requisition’s initiator or approver) is editing the document, adding or removing items.
7. Canceled — the initiator/approver revoked the whole document after it was approved.
   
   

Each user can have a role relevant to their task. There are 3 roles: 

1. Viewer — grants document viewing rights without editing or approving options. 
2. Creator — allows document creation and editing. 
3. Approver — allows approving the documents created by other users.
