Understanding Purchase Request Statuses (Pro & Enterprise)

A quick reference for request lifecycle stages, from initial Draft and Submission to final Approval or Rejection.

Each purchase request is assigned a status so you can quickly see where it is in the procurement workflow. These statuses help you track progress and identify requests that need attention.

  • Draft: The request has been created but not yet submitted for review.

  • Submitted: The request has been submitted and is currently awaiting approval from an authorized user.

  • Approved: The request has been authorized, and ToolWatch has automatically generated a draft Purchase Order.

  • Rejected: The request was declined by an approver and may require changes or additional information before it can be resubmitted.

  • Cancelled: The request was manually stopped and will not proceed to a Purchase Order.

  • Closed: The request is complete and all associated purchasing activity is finalized.
