Symptoms

The "sc_requested.requested_for"  field is not displaying the value provided in the "requested_for" catalog variable.  Instead, it is always displaying the name of the user who created the request. 

Based on KB0691916, the following system property was set to false:
glide.sc.enable_order_now 

Release

Any current supported release.

Cause

The current behavior is the expected. In order to set a different user for the requested_for field, the following catalog property needs to be turned on:   
"Use the two step catalog checkout model (default false)." 

Resolution

1. Access the instance as admin
2. Navigate to Catalog Administration >> Properties 
3. Click on "Cart"
4. Turn on the property "Use the two step catalog checkout model (default false)."
