When might requisition statuses need frequent updates?

Requisition statuses might need frequent updates under circumstances where there are changes in delivery schedules or quantities. This is critical to ensure the supply chain remains efficient and responsive to the needs of the units relying on those supplies. Frequent updates allow for accurate tracking of items, adjustments in planning and operations, and better communication with suppliers. If delivery schedules shift or quantities are adjusted, it’s essential to reflect those changes in the requisition status to manage expectations and logistics effectively. This dynamic updating facilitates timely decision-making and can help prevent potential shortages or excesses in inventory.

In contrast, situations such as when no supplies are being ordered, when financial records are being audited, or when historical supply data is archived do not typically necessitate ongoing updates to requisition statuses. These activities are generally more static and do not impact immediate operational needs in the same way that changes in deliveries do.
