Open Request View

The Open Request View will display all open, not-approved order requests. This screen is only available for users set up as requester or Both.

This function will also allow requester Administrators to submit requests to be approved.

 

  1. Use the Data Filter to select the range of filtering options or leave the filter blank to include all available data.
  2. If you are a request administrator, select the type of requests to display from the Display Type drop-down list:
    • My Requests Only will display only the requests the logged-in user submitted.
    • Exclude My Requests will display the requests from other requestors only.
    • All Requests will display all requests accessible by the user.

    If you are not a request administrator, you can only see your own requests.

  3. Click the Apply Filter button.

Requests that match the criteria will appear in the grid.

Click the plus sign next to the Transaction ID to expand the record to see the line item(s) on the request, as well as the response detail. Double-click on the Transaction ID to open the Order Requests screen for that transaction.
