Can the Purchase Requisition Processor make changes to the Purchase Requisition after Fund Certification?

The correct understanding is that once Fund Certification has been completed, the Purchase Requisition Processor is no longer able to make changes to the Purchase Requisition. This step is crucial in the process as it ensures that all necessary funds have been allocated and certified before any further modifications can take place. Making changes after Fund Certification could compromise the integrity of the financial controls and accountability measures that are in place to ensure proper spending and financial management.

In practice, the purchase requisition is a foundational document that initiates the procurement process, and after fund certification, it is treated as a finalized request. Therefore, the inability to alter it maintains the effectiveness of financial monitoring and prevents any discrepancies or unauthorized adjustments that could occur post-certification.
