What is the status of Returned in Requisition
-
Approver rejected the requisition
-
Buyer rejected the requisition
-
Preparer Cancels the requisition
-
Supplier cancels the requisition
In Purchasing, a Requisition status of 'Returned' indicates that the buyer has rejected the requisition, typically due to issues with the request. This is different from approver rejection (A), which would show a different status, or preparer cancellation (C) and supplier cancellation (D), which have different workflows.
In Oracle Purchasing, a requisition status of 'Returned' indicates the buyer sent the requisition back to the preparer/requester without converting it into a purchase order — for example, because information was missing or unsuitable sourcing was found. This is distinct from 'Rejected,' which results from an approver declining the requisition during the approval workflow.
