What happens to the approval status of a purchase requisition when it is saved manually in GFEBS?

When a purchase requisition is saved manually in GFEBS, its approval status changes to "Blocked." This indicates that the requisition cannot proceed to the next stages of the procurement process until specific issues or requirements are resolved. This status often serves as a safeguard to ensure that all necessary approvals, validations, or edits are completed before the requisition can move forward.

In the context of GFEBS, a "Blocked" status helps maintain oversight and control over financial commitments by preventing unauthorized or unverified expenditure until the requisition meets all necessary criteria. This process is crucial in ensuring adherence to fiscal regulations and organizational policies.

On the other hand, if the requisition were to change to "Approved," it would indicate that all necessary authorizations were already in place, which does not occur when manually saving a requisition without further action. Similarly, a change to "Pending" would suggest that it is awaiting action but does not represent the immediate result of manually saving the requisition. Lastly, an "Open" status would imply that the requisition is active and available for further processing, but it does not reflect the conditions that follow the manual saving action.
