Upon saving a manually created Purchase Requisition, what is its initial release status?

When a manually created Purchase Requisition is saved, its initial release status is typically set to "Blocked." This status indicates that the requisition has not yet undergone the necessary processes to be formally approved or released for procurement actions. Initially blocking the requisition allows for review and necessary modifications before it can proceed to the next stages.

Once the requisition is reviewed and meets the required criteria, it can then be moved to an approved or released status. This controlled progression ensures that all requisitions are properly validated and only those that meet all procedural and compliance requirements are processed further. The choice of "Blocked" reflects this procedural safeguard, whereas statuses like "Released" or "Approved" would only apply after the requisition has successfully passed through the required checks.
