You can access requisition information in the Enter Requisitions, Requisition Processing and Requisition Processing by Line screens.

Use this screen any time you need detailed information regarding a requisition. You can view the status of any requisition in the system, purchase order information generated from requisitions, and quotes received from vendors for requisitions requiring quotes.
