Hi,

we are not able to pick the item without the procurement category in the purchase requisition.

My client wants to enter the purchase requisition in three ways,

1. PR with procurement category and project category - we can able to do this.

2. PR with procurement category - we can able to do this.

3. PR with only inventory item, not the procurement category - this way we are not able to do it. It is asking the procurement category as mandatory field.

Please share your comments on how to enter a PR without a procurement category for an inventory item.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi BanuReddy,

Please perform the following steps to create and link default Procurement Category hierarchy on Product screen.

1. Create Procurement hierarchy from Product information Management > Setup > Categories and attributes > Categories and attributes and select associate hierarchy type as "Procurement category hierarchy"

2. Link this hierarchy on Product card > Product categories.

Thanks for your response Idress. when I did this setup, after releasing the PR. I noticed the procurement category in my purchase order. I don't want the procurement category in my purchase order. I need only items in the purchase order.

Hi BanuReddy,

Actually the procurement category is a mandatory field in the purchase requisition screen, the reason being procurement category help the business in raising purchase requisition easily.

Good morning BanuReddy,

What is the major worry that you have if you have the procurement category visible in the PR?

If the category is linked to your item then there is no extra selection / typing necessary.

So, there seems no 'harm' done by having this info in the PR and if you don't want that people see this column, simply hide it from the form.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Thanks for your reply, Ludwig.

Initially, I was scared having the procurement category in the purchase order will result in different transactions in vouchers.

But that is not the case. After viewed your question.

I tried creating a PO in two ways.

1. having the procurement category and item in the PO

2. removed the procurement category from the item form and enter PO only with the item.

In both cases, I got the same voucher transaction.
