You can update purchase requisition line items with changes to the vendor, price, requested date, or quotation data, and then create purchase orders for the consolidated requisition line items.
Note
Purchase requisition lines that are added to an open consolidation opportunity cannot be added to a purchase order from the Release approved purchase requisitions form. Instead they must be added to a purchase order from the consolidation opportunity.
