Does anyone know why an approver cannot edit a purchase req once it has been submitted by a preparer? In our company the preparer is not the purchasing agent so the agent must refine the purchase req with specifics like the item being purchased and the price however he cannot do this. For example, an employee asks their supervisor for a new drill. The supervisor enters a new purchase requisition for the drill. He uses a procurement category. In the Product name field he enters 18V Cordless drill. He does not enter a price or a vendor because the purchasing agent will do that once he determines who to buy it from. The supervisor submits the req and workflow routes it to the purchase agent. Unfortunately the agent is not able to modify or update the req with specifics (other than the vendor). Are we not understanding the process flow for requisitions? Thanks very much.
