The Requisition Reopen process reopens requisitions that have been 'Closed' or are showing as 'Complete'.

Running this process returns each requisition status to its status prior to the last run of the Close Requisitions process.  Note this does not mean that running this process reopens each requisition.  If a requisition’s status prior to being closed by the last run of the Close Requisitions process was 'Canceled', running the Requisition Reopen process on the requisition returns its status to 'Canceled'.  If a requisition’s status was 'Open' prior to the Close Requisitions process, running the Requisition Reopen process returns its status to 'Open'.
