ServiceNow uses a hierarchical structure to manageService Catalog requests:
REQ (Request Record)
TheRequest (REQ#)is theparent recordthat represents the entire service request submitted by a user.
It groups all requested items and their associated tasks.
Found in thesc_requesttable.
RITM (Requested Item Record)
TheRequested Item (RITM#)is the specificcatalog itemordered by the user within a request.
A singleREQcan have multipleRITMsif the user ordered multiple items in a single request.
Found in thesc_req_itemtable.
TASK (Catalog Task Record)
TheTask (TASK#)is the individual fulfillment action required to complete the requested item.
A singleRITMcan have multipletasks, each assigned to different fulfillment teams.
Found in thesc_tasktable.
Why Answer "C" is Correct:✔️REQ (Number) > RITM (Number) > TASK (Number)
This is thecorrect pathbecause it follows theServiceNow fulfillment structure:
REQ (Request)– Tracks the entire request.
RITM (Requested Item)– Tracks individual items within the request.
TASK (Catalog Task)– Tracks the specific tasks needed to complete the requested item.
This path allows an administrator to drill down from the overallRequest (REQ#)to individualRequested Items (RITM#)and finally to theTasks (TASK#)assigned to fulfill those items.
Why the Other Answers Are Incorrect:A. RITM (Number) > REQ (Number) > PROCUREMENT (Number)
Incorrectbecause theREQ# (Request) comes firstbefore the RITM# (Requested Item).
Also,PROCUREMENT#is not always part of the fulfillment flow unless the item requires procurement (e.g., purchasing hardware).
B. REQ (Number) > RITM (Number) > PROCUREMENT (Number)
Incorrectbecausenot all requests involve procurement.
The last step should beTASK (sc_task), notPROCUREMENTunless it's a procurement-related request.
D. FULFILLMENT (Number) > RITM (Number) > TASK (Number)
Incorrectbecause"FULFILLMENT" is not a standard record typein ServiceNow.
The correct hierarchy starts withREQ# (sc_request), not "FULFILLMENT."
