select requisition_header_id, segment1, wf_item_type, wf_item_key, authorization_status, org_id from po_requisition_headers_all where segment1 = ‘1980’ and org_id = 105;

for Purchase order change the table name to PO_HEADERS_ALL

to find the wf_item_key which is referred as “item key” with the JSP form.

Once the desired information derived
