What happens if a Purchase Requisition exceeds budgetary limits?

When a Purchase Requisition exceeds budgetary limits, it may be blocked or require additional approvals due to the financial management protocols in place. This mechanism is designed to ensure that spending does not exceed allocated funds, thereby maintaining fiscal responsibility and accountability within the organization.

The system typically flags the requisition so that further review is necessary. This could involve seeking additional approvals from higher management or re-evaluating funding sources to ensure that the purchase aligns with budget constraints. This process helps to prevent overspending and encourages proper planning and resource allocation.

In contrast to this correct response, simply approving the requisition automatically or allowing it to be submitted without issue would go against financial management best practices, as it could lead to budget deficits and unaccounted expenses. Additionally, creating a new budget immediately is not a practical or reasonable response to exceeding limits; budget adjustments typically follow a structured review process. This ensures that any change in budgetary allocations considers organizational priorities and available resources.
