Unsure of what is going on with a requisition? Looking at the ‘Status’ field can help! The below explains what each status means and how it can help you find out what is going on with a particular requisition.

• Composing:The requisition has not yet been submitted, or it has been submitted and subsequently withdrawn. Requisitions in 'Composing' status can usually be found in the composing folder of the preparer of the requisition. When viewing the requisition, the preparer can click the 'Edit' button to edit and submit the requisition.
• Submitted:The requisition has been submitted for approval. Requisitions in 'Submitted' status can usually be found in the 'Submitted' folder of the preparer, as well as in the 'Approve Requests' folder of the current active approver in the approval flow. To see the current active approver, view the requisition and click the 'Approval Flow' tab.
• Approved:The requisition has been fully approved and has been sent to the agency's financial backend system. The requisition can still be viewed in the preparer's 'Approved' folder.
• Returned:The requisition has been returned by an approver to be edited or deleted. It can be found in the preparer's 'Returned' folder. View the 'Comments' section of the 'Summary' tab for any comments left by an approver. To view which approver returned the requisition, click the 'Approval Flow' tab.
• Pending:The requisition is currently being processed by the system (i.e., it is being processed by 'Integration'). If the requisition stays in this status for more than 4 hours, please contact the NC E-Procurement Help Desk.
