When duplication is useful
Duplicate a requisition when you need to raise a similar requirement without re-entering project, trade, agency, rate, approval, and requirement details. Common use cases:
Repeat work for the same project and trade
Similar roles to a recent requisition
Recurring site requirements
Follow-on demand that is close to an existing requisition
How to duplicate
Start a duplicate from the project selection dialog when raising a new requisition:
If the source rates are hidden for you, the new requisition uses the current rate card. Hidden source overrides are not copied.
Begin raising a new requisition.
In the project selection dialog, choose Duplicate and select the source requisition.
Wait for the form to load — each section is pre-filled as its dependent data finishes loading (suppliers, approvers, trades, rates, custom fields, and so on).
Enter the start and end dates and review every copied field before submitting.
What fields are copied
Where they are still valid for the selected project, the following details are copied:
Project, site, and shift pattern
Quantity and requestor comments
Auto-assign setting
Project-costed classification, when the source stores it; review it against the current routing rules
Send-through-approval setting
Cost code, trade, pay type, and rate type
Rate override when the source charge still differs from the standard rate
Agencies (subject to restriction and amend-supplier permission)
Approvers, including stage approvers for multi-stage approval
Timesheet approvers
Hiring managers who still have requisition assignment permission
On-submission custom fields, tag, and work activity
What is not copied
Some fields are deliberately left blank or are not carried across at all:
Start and end dates — cleared so you set fresh dates for the new requirement
Fulfilment mode — left blank when shift-based requisitions are enabled so you make a fresh choice
Approval state, agency responses, and assigned workers
Existing comments, mentions, and activity history
Supplier selection when you do not have permission to amend the supplier list (falls back to the project's standard supplier configuration)
When copied values are skipped
Copied values still depend on current configuration and permissions. A copied value is silently skipped and must be re-selected when it is:
No longer available for the selected project
Restricted by company, project, or supplier rules
Inactive, deleted, or otherwise invalid
A rate override whose source charge now matches the standard rate, or whose pay or rate type is no longer available
What to review before submitting
Always review the duplicate before submitting. Pay particular attention to:
Start and end dates — must be entered for every duplicate
Quantity, site, trade, and work activity
Shift pattern and the required fulfilment mode choice
Agencies and approvers, including timesheet approvers and hiring managers
Rates, pay type, rate type, and any rate override
Cost code, custom fields, tag, and requestor comments
