procurement catalog in f&o

Hi Everyone,
Could someone clarify the difference between procurement categories in a procurement hierarchy and a procurement catalog?
From what I understand, once I define a procurement category and link products or vendors to it, I can use it for purchase requisitions and orders without needing a procurement catalog.
It seems that procurement catalogs were primarily used with the Enterprise Portal, which has been deprecated in the latest version of D365FO and isn't part of Employee Self-Service. Given this, I'm not sure why both would be necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help!

    I think your understanding is basically correct; if you're using Requisitions, Procurement categories are mandatory. A procurement catalog is optional.
     
    Procurement catalogs can be used to restrict the items and categories which certain requisitioners can see. For example, you could ensure that only people in the IT Department can order things from the Computers category.
