System and method for returning individual lines of a purchase requisition for correction and approval

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to methods and systems for processing purchase requisitions and purchase orders in a procurement system and more particularly systems and methods for returning single or individual requisition lines back to the requester without affecting other associated requisition lines under the same requisition. Generally speaking, embodiments allow users of a procurement system to return individual requisition lines instead of returning all the requisition lines in the purchase requisition. In some cases, policies require all or some subset of all lines of a requisition be processed together when possible. Hence, if there are more than one requisition lines, the buyer can be presented with a choice whether he or she would like to return the individual line or whether he would like to return all or some subset of all of the lines allowing a buyer to make a more informed decision.
