Edit Unopened Requisition Requests

After creating requisitions, you can view your new requisitions from the Project: Team: Staff page or the Project: Team: Requisitions page. From this page, you can monitor your open requisitions and edit any unopened requisitions.

You can view a requisition's status in the Request Status field on the Project: Team: Staff page. Whenever the requisition status changes, the team Request Status field is updated. This provides you an indicator of the state of your requisitions.

You can only edit requisition requests that have a status of "New."

After you submit an open requisition, the resource manager receives notification to work on the request. If a requisition is for a named resource, the named resource is automatically added to the resource list for the requisition when the status changes to "Open." The resource is selected or "Proposed."

Note: See the Resource Management User Guide for more information.
