Types of Requisition Status

The Status field of a requisition is located on the Requisition Properties page. The requisition owner (also named a requestor) is the only person who can change its initial status from New to something else (typically Open). Other recipients can then change the status.

New

All requisitions begin with this status until the owner submits the requisition or manually changes the status. When you are ready for a booking manager to fill the request, change the status to Open.

Open

This status indicates that the requisition is active and requires attention and fulfillment. The requestor who creates the requisition is the one who changes the status to Open. The booking manager is notified.

Proposed

The booking manager proposes bookings to fulfill the requisition. The requestor is notified. The requestor reviews the proposed resources. If the requestor rejects the resources that the booking manager has identified, the requisition status changes back to Open.

The status Proposed is available if you have the Project – Attach Requisition Entry Resources access right. Also, the Requisition Approval Required setting is required to be selected for the project.

Booked

This status indicates that a project manager or resource manager has accepted (booked) the resource on the requisition. The requisition status automatically changes to "Booked" and the requester and booking manager are both notified. "Booked" status is available:

Closed

This status indicates that no more work is required. Only the requestor can close a requisition. If the booking manager declines an open requisition, the requisition status automatically changes to Closed.
