What is Requisition?
Requisition → An internal request for goods or services. A requisition can originate from an employee or from another process, such as inventory or manufacturing. Each requisition can include many lines, generally with a distinct item on each requisition line. Each requisition line includes at least a description of the item, the unit of measure, the quantity needed, the price per item.

The header includes the PO#, the vendor name, approval status etc.



The PO Line shows the Item(s) included in that purchase order, their description, quantity against each item in case there are multiple items for a single purchase order.

In order to check the status navigate to Purchase Orders → Purchase Order Summary.
Provide the PO# in the 'Number' field and click on Find.




The Header status shows closed.
It means that the PO has been received and therefore it is closed.


The above screen shots show the status of the POs from front end of Oracle Apps.

Oracle has provided seeded tables from which we can know the status of the purchase orders created.
The two most frequently referred tables are :

a. PO_HEADERS_ALL → It gives the PO header information.

SELECT * FROM PO_HEADERS_ALL WHERE SEGMENT1 = '160834'

In the above query, segment1 denotes the PO#.
The other  important field of the table is PO_HEADER_ID which is a foreign key in the other table mentioned below.

b. PO_LINES_ALL → It gives the line information of the PO.

SELECT * FROM PO_LINES_ALL WHERE PO_HEADER_ID = 680370

The above header id is obtained from the PO_HEADER_ID of table PO_HEADERS_ALL.
