Why run this report?
- To show all requisitions including those that have not been converted into purchase orders. This particularly applies to those charged to projects as the commitment remains open on the project until the requisition is cancelled or closed.
- To review the authorisation status of requisitions raised within your department.
- To report on purchasing by Category (column AF).

Hints and tips
Use the “Authorization Status” column (E) to find Requisitions that have not been approved in conjunction with the Project Number column (AI) where this is causing issues with open commitments.
There are no mandatory parameters so always ensure that you enter a range of dates and an appropriate Buyer in the relevant fields. The Buyer will, generally, be your department name if the Purchase Order was created automatically – it will only be your name if you create the Purchase Order manually through the UO Buyer Work Centre.
