Open Purchase Requisition Processing (object-centric)
The Open Purchase Requisition Processing app (Object Centric) enables procurement specialists and operational buyers to centrally monitor, analyze and optimize open purchase requisitions.. The app provides real time-visibility into requisition lines, suppliers, contracts, materials, and historical purchasing behavior.
It proactively highlights deviations from procurement strategies and policies, enabling users to take targeted corrective actions and collaborate with tasks and comments, as well as approval requests with colleagues.
The app include use cases such as:
Monitor and prioritize open requisition lines
Identify open requisitions with incorrect or incomplete requisition data
Reducing maverick buying and free-text requests
Identify missing suppliers or incomplete data
Review historical purchase documents
Prioritizing high-value or time-critical requisitions
Ensuring transparency and team coordination
By connecting all relevant information for operational execution the app transforms PR processing from reactive administration into proactive value creation.
The Open Purchase Requisition Processing app comes with these views:
Open Purchase Requisition Action View - Includes two tabs showing open and closed Purchase Requisitions:
Open Requisition Line tab: Provides a prioritized operational workspace for managing open requisition lines, highlighting risks, SLA breaches, and missing contract or supplier information as well as giving “Quick Opportunity" recommendations.The Quick Opportunities panel appears at the top of the Open PR Processing View and automatically categorizes each open requisition line into an actionable opportunity (f.e., free text, missing price, SLA exceeded etc).
Closed Requisition tab: Supports historical analysis of completed requisitions to identify trends and inefficiencies.
Profile / Supplier / Material Views - Enable contextual deep-dives into specific requisitions, suppliers, or materials to support informed sourcing and decision-making.
Notes and Tasks View - Allows users to track change history, collaborate through comments, and assign tasks to ensure transparent ownership and faster resolution.
Closed Requisition Lines View - Supports historical analysis of completed requisitions to identify trends, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities.
Process Explorer - Provides a process flow visualization of the end-to-end procurement process, from purchase requisition through to invoice receipt. Allows buyers and analysts to understand how requisition lines are flowing through the process, identify bottlenecks, and investigate deviations from the expected process path.
This documentation is for the object-centric version of the Open Purchase Requisition Processing app, which works with objects and events created for object-centric process mining. It uses the perspective_custom_Procurement perspective that’s supplied with our object-centric data model. The perspective includes the objects, events, and relationships from the Celonis catalog that are relevant for the Procurement business process including contracts.
