## Transaction status and actions

The Transaction Status and Actions section contains the following information:

* **Open Product Requests**: Allows you to view special quotes that are open. When a special quote is complete, it's no longer displayed in this section. You can also use this tab to request a new quote by selecting **Request Special Quote**. For information on how to create a special quote, see [Special Quotes](/modules-and-features/procurement/special-quotes.md).
* **Quotes Ready**: Allows you to view a list of quotes that are ready to be converted to an order. You can also view detailed information for a quote, delete a quote, convert a quote to an order, or export a quote to PDF or Excel.

You can only view quotes that are open within the last 90 days. If the quotes were opened before 90 days, you can see those quotes on the special quote history page (**Documents** > **Special Quotes**).
{% endhint %}

* **Approval Required**: Allows you to view orders that are pending approval. Depending on the purchase approval workflow:
  * The **Approve** option is displayed if you can approve the orders yourself.&#x20;
  * The **Details** option is displayed if the order requires approval by someone else, as per the approval workflow.
* **Open Invoices**: Allows you to view the open invoices.
