Looking for ways other requisition users are processing changes to requisitions after the Purchase Order has been created. (Without sending PO's through workflow).
Would like to be able to add a requisitions to an existing purchase order or somehow reference the original purchase order.
Suggestions?

Sbasye,
If features/functions are currently missing in GP, you can always submit a product enhancement suggestion on the Microsoft Connect site.
The project management teams gather frequently and look at the new entries, and if there is enough votes for it, may consider to add them in a future version.
You have to login with your MS Live account and join the Dynamics GP program first in order to post a suggestion.
No problem......I figured multiple customers and partners would probably find this information beneficial, as they'd have the same type of questions.
Thanks
Thank you Derek for bringing some clarifications on the whole requisition & purchasing process in the new WF 2.0 setup for GP.
In Dynamics GP 2016 R2, if I submit and final approve/complete a requisition through Workflow 2.0, then go back and try to make a change to the completed requisition, before purchasing on it, such as changing the quantity of an item, when I click 'Save', it'll give me a message that if I save this change, this requisition will be recalled from Workflow and will need to be resubmitted for approval. When I click Yes to continue, the requisition is then put into a 'Recalled' status and needs to be resubmitted through Workflow for approval.
After the requisition is purchased, it no longer shows in the Purchase Requisitions Entry window to makes changes to.
The same behavior is seen with purchase orders. If I submit a PO for approval through Workflow 2.0, then final approve/complete it, then make a change to the PO, when I click to Save, it gives me a message that the PO will be recalled from workflow and will need to be resubmitted for approval. When I click Yes to continue, the PO is put into a 'Recalled' status and needs to be resubmitted through Workflow for approval.
I wasn't able to find a way to 'purchase' an requisition to an existing PO either when I tested.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
Hi,
Tough we use an external procurement system that does handle Change Orders & addition to existing PO's, I don't think that the integrated requisition system in GP has this kind of functionality.. and even worse, I've recently read that the workflow has some serious flaws that would allow a user to change a requisition or a PO after it was approved without sending it back to the approval tree..
IMHO the new requisition process was simply a move by Microsoft to get away from the old Business Portal requisition management system, which wasn't very elaborated and didn't support Project Accounting and Multi-currency.. The embedded process in GP is pale compared to most 3rd-party procurement system that are available for GP. At least the GP requisition system now supports Project Accounting...
