Procurement - Purchase Requisitions

Introduction

Procurement - Purchase requisitions is the main dashboard where you can analyze your process for the purchase requisitions to get approval. See the illustration below.



The information displayed in the dashboard is based on the creation date of the purchase requisitions. The PR creation date filter in the Filters panel enables you to select a period to display the purchase requisitions that were created in the selected period.

Note: Since the process graph displays all purchase requisitions which are created within the selected time period, the graph can also contain changes to these purchase requisitions that might be outside of the selected period.
