What is required for a Purchase Requisition (PR) to be unblocked after approval?

A Purchase Requisition (PR) must undergo a status change from Blocked to Unblocked to proceed after approval. This status change is crucial because it signifies that any issues or reasons for blocking the PR have been resolved, allowing the procurement process to continue. The unblocking of a PR enables the acquisition team to move forward with the necessary sourcing and purchasing activities, ensuring that the organization can obtain the goods or services required without further delays.

The need for a specific action, such as changing the PR status, highlights the structured process within the GFEBS Acquisition Process, where each stage of a procurement request is managed systematically to maintain control and oversight. This ensures that only approved and validated purchases can proceed, reflecting the importance of maintaining standards in procurement operations.
