Overview

This article provides step by step guidance on how to update the Requester associated with a Purchase Order (PO) in Oracle Procurement.

Essential Information

---

• The Requester is the individual who serves as the point of contact on an order.
• The Requester is responsible for approving inventorial equipment invoices $5,000 and over, and all other invoices $10,000 and over, to confirm goods or services were received.
• To change the Requester on an invoice, a ticket must be submitted to Accounts Payable.
  
  • For all future invoices on that PO, a change order should be processed.
  • If no further invoices are expected on a PO, then the Requester on the PO does not need to be changed.
• Change Orders are not allowed for Recharge suppliers, punchout orders or Advanced Search orders.
