Updating Buy Entity

Users with the Purchasing Agent role are able to change the 'Buying Entity' field on a requisition as it moves through the approval flow. When an original requisition is in 'Submitted' status, the purchasing agent has an 'Update Buying Entity' button in addition to the existing 'Approve,' 'Deny,' and 'Edit' buttons.
 
Once the 'Update Buying Entity' button is selected, the user will see a message indicating that the previous pre-encumbrance for that requisition is being withdrawn. Once the Buying Entity is changed, the requisition will be pre-encumbered under the new Buying Entity. For more information about Changing the Buy Entity, please see the Job Aids section of the website.
