FAQ: Requisitions Worklet

Who can use the Requisitions worklet?
Workers who request goods and services on behalf of themselves or others. For a quick and simple user experience, we display the minimal number of fields and prompts needed to complete requisitions.
What is the External Suppliers section for?
Workers see this section when you integrate with supplier websites using the supplier punchout integration. Workers can select these suppliers to punchout to the marketplace site and request goods. You can't change the display label for this section.
What is the Request Non-Catalog Items section for?
Workers can use Request Non-Catalog Items to place requests for non-catalog items. You can't hide this section; it's always displayed in the work area and available to workers.
Workday can detect when a goods line item in your non-catalog request may be available for request from the catalog and suggest that you make a catalog request instead. These suggestions are based on supplier item identifiers that are linked to existing purchase items. These suggestions apply to all requisition types and all suppliers.

How do I configure fields on the Requisition worklet that don't appear on the Create Requisition task?
You can hide or require fields for particular user groups using the
Configure Optional Fields
task, when you select the
REST API Requisition
option. You can make this change without impacting the fields on the
Create Requisition
task.
How can I track my project-based requisitions that are created using the
Requisitions
worklet?
These requisitions don't display within the view on the
Requisitions
worklet. If you've opted in to the Unified Requisitioning Experience, you can instruct users to use the
Find Requisitions
report to find the requisitions and then view them. If you are not opted in to the Unified Requisitioning Experience, you can either use the
Find Requisitions
or
My Requisitions
report to find and access the requisitions.
