- Enter the requisition number and click Search.
- Click on the Document ID of the requisition
- In the requisition, scroll to the View Related Documents Tab; click Show
- If the PO is in Open or Closed status, the PO number will appear.
- I've already received pricing estimates—does Purchasing still need to quote?
For purchases over $10,000 it is necessary for Purchasing to issue a quote. You may attach quotes to your requisition and they will be used for reference.
- Can I use a requisition number to start a project or place an order?
No. Suppliers may not begin work or process a transaction without a purchase order.
