Purchasing > Maintenance > Create/Modify Contract Requisition

This page is used to create contract requisitions, edit existing contract requisitions, and/or filter existing requisitions with a contract by from/to date or requestor. Originators can submit next year requisitions for multiple requestors. You can only view and edit the requisitions that you created.

Requisitions created by originators with no approval path are automatically approved when saved, and a purchase order is created when the requisition is submitted.
Requisitions created in the current accounting period that have all general journal transactions in the current accounting period are displayed in the current and the next accounting period.
Requisitions created in the next accounting period that have all general journal transactions in the next accounting period are displayed in only the next accounting period.
Requisitions created in the current accounting period that have general journal transactions in the next accounting period are displayed in only the next accounting period.

Note: If another user enters an account code for which the selected requestor is not authorized to use in his user profile, the account description is changed to Account Code Not In User Profile. Users can:

Change the unauthorized account code to an account code in the requestor's user profile.
Change the values in the Percent and Amount columns of the unauthorized account code.

Saved requisitions are set to a Not Submitted status. When submitted, the requisition status changes to Pending until it is approved (if required) and becomes a purchase order.
