Cancel a Requisistion or Close Requisition Lines

Steps to Cancel a Requisition with In Process Status or Requisition lines in Approved status:

If a quote or order is cancelled with a supplier, the department requestor is responsible for cancelling the requisition or closing requisition lines, only when cancellation or closure is needed, depending on the status of the requisition in Workday. If an order has been cancelled with a Supplier and your department requires assistance with cancelling or closing a requisition, please email purchasing@acu.edu with the requisition number to request assistance.

Important Note: To Close or Cancel a purchase order, please contact purchasing@acu.edu with the REQ or PO number to request closure. PO cancellation or closure could be needed if a quote or order is cancelled with a supplier and the requisition is in Approved status and a purchase order was issued in Workday. Another reason for cancellation or closure would be a duplicate purchase order that was issued in error.

To edit the requisition from the Workday Requisitions application:

  1. In the Workday search bar, navigate to My Requisitions
    1. In the Requisitions section, locate the referenced Requisition that is Awaiting Action which indicates that the status of the requisition is In Process. To close an open requisition in Awaiting Action status, select the Related Actions (three dot icon) next to the REQ number to Cancel the requisition. Add the Reason and Comments before selecting OK to complete the cancellation process. Please contact purchasing@acu.edu before applying any changes to the requisition in Workday if you are unsure if cancellation is needed. 
    2. In the Requisitions section of the page, under the Completed tab, if the referenced Requisition is in Approved status, please select the Related Actions (three dot icon) next to the REQ number to Close the requisition. If specific requisition lines are no longer needed, please select the Related Actions icon next to the REQ number and choose Close Lines. To close specific requisition lines that is no longer needed, select the checkbox on the line to close and select OK. Please note that once a line item is closed on a requisition, no further payments can be issued from the closed requisition line. Please contact purchasing@acu.edu before applying any changes if you are unsure if a requisition line closure is needed.
