Use these procedures to delete purchase requisitions. Only the user who requested the items on the purchase requisition can delete purchase requisitions. When you delete purchase requisitions, the purchase requisition journals are not deleted.

You can delete purchase requisitions when they have one of the following statuses:

Draft
Approved - Invoiced(all referenced purchase order lines that were created for the purchase requisition lines have been invoiced)
Rejected
Approved - Cancelled(all purchase order lines have been canceled, deleted, or both)

You cannot delete purchase requisitions with statuses of Pending, Approved, or Completed. In these cases, the user who requested the items must first recall the purchase requisitions, and then delete them.

If you are a user who manages purchase requisitions and you have the necessary access, you can delete purchase requisitions – regardless of their status or your role in the purchase requisition workflow – using the Purchase requisitionsform ( Accounts payable> Periodic> Purchase Requisition> All purchase requisitions).
