A requisition can be rejected in a release procedure.

This workflow enables you to notify the creator of a requisition item of such rejection.

The workflow is started when an individual authorized to effect release signifies his or her refusal to do so.

The creator of the requisition item then receives a work item, with which he or she can process the rejected requisition item using the transaction Change Purchase Requisition (ME52N).

If you wish to use this workflow, you must make the following settings:

Activate type linkage for the following object:

Select the Type linkage activated indicator under Tools ® Business Workflow ® Development ® Definition Tools ® Events ® Event Linkages ® Type Linkages.

Define the workflow for rejected requisition items (WS65400027) as a general task.

To do so, choose Business Management ® SAP Business Workflow ® Perform Task-Specific Customizing ® Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Assign Agents to Tasks in Customizing for the Basis.
