When you open the Item Overview, it will sometimes show your previous listing. However, to be sure you have the listing you want, use the selection variant and choose "My purchase requisitions" or "Purchase requisitions". "My purchase requisitions" will show open Requisitions that you have created. If you choose the "Purchase requisitions", you will be presented with a selection screen that allows you to search for others. When searching for a Purchase Requisition by the Requisitioner field, note that this is the Requisitioner field that is optional on the Item Overview. Remember that if something was entered in this field, it should contain the "userid" of the person who originally requested the item, not necessarily the person that entered the Requisition. If you want to find all Requisitions entered by yourself, enter your userid in the Name of processor field.
Remove any other criteria that defaults from the system.
