5.3 The SCS released a Req without enough information. How do I block it and send it back?

Updated on

Steps in the screenshots correspond to the numbers in the headings.

If the SCS sends a requisition to you without enough information, you may need to block it and send it back to him/her.  Here is how to do that.

1. From the main menu, go to Inventory > Purchasing > Purchase Order.

2. The Req will show in your POs to process.

3. In our example, the Req was submitted with an Unknown Supplier, for $1500.  There is no description of what the service is (other than the category of Other - Equipment.) The description just says "Services", and there is no information in the PO Text or the Comments.

4. With all that considered, the buyer needs to block this Req and send it back to the SCS for more information.  Begin by changing the workflow from Proposed to Blocked.

5. Uncheck the Release box.

6. Add a note in the internal comments box as to why you are blocking the req.

7. Click Save.

8. By checking the comments you will see that the Req is now in the blocked status and has been unreleased.

As a best practice, please email the SCS that you are returning the Requisition.  To ensure a timely response, be sure to use the Requisition number, not the PO number.
