# Introduction to Purchase Requests

## How to navigate the Purchase Requests section

You can find purchase requests in the **Requests** section on the left-hand side of the screen. These are all the statuses in the PO lifecycle before the requests are approved.

![](https://faq.procurementexpress.com/hubfs/fotor_2023-2-10_0_9_43-png.png)

Purchase Requests are sorted into these different statuses:

- **All** - A list of all your purchaser requests, regardless of their status. 
- **Draft** - A list of all your draft purchase requests. 
- **Pending** - A List of purchase requests that are awaiting approval. 
- **Rejected** - A List of purchase requests that have been rejected by the approvers. 
- **Cancelled** - A list of all your purchase requests that have been cancelled. 
- **Archived** - A list of all the purchase requests you have archived (hidden). 

All the Categories, apart from "All", are mutually exclusive.
