RUN_PO_REQREOPEN

Run the Requisition Reopen process.

The Requisition Reopen Application Engine process (PO_REQREOPN) gives you the ability to reopen requisitions. To perform the Requisition Reopen process you need to have the authorization to do so. To enable users to be able to reopen requisitions, you must establish their authorization using the Procurement - Requisition Authorizations page. Using this page you can give the user the ability to reopen requisitions.

The Requisition Reopen process gives you the ability to reopen requisitions in a couple of different ways. You can:

  • Undo changes made by the last run of the Close Requisition process.

    This process reverses the effects of the Close Requisitions process on the most recently processed group of requisitions.

  • Reopen any requisition at any time.

    This process gives you the ability to reopen a range of requisitions, a specific requisition, or all requisitions associated with a business unit.

Note: A requisition that has been canceled at the header level, is not eligible for reopening.

Running this process resets several values associated with the requisition. The Requisition Reopen process will reset these values:

REQ_HDR

Updated Value After Reopen

REQ_STATUS

Value saved at close

ACTIVITY_DATE

Current Date

BUDGET_HDR_STS_PR (if commitment control used)
