    Hi Naveen,
     
    The category has the suffix "DO NOT USE". This might be there for a reason. However, if you click Fix issues in the error log, you might get more information about what validation caused the update error.

    Hi,
    I checked my sourcing category and didn't find that one in your screenshot, maybe that's user-defined.
    You can check the Procurement Category settings. Can I know if you chose this procurement category out of curiosity, or if there is a corresponding business scenario that requires this procurement category, since it says DO NOT USE?
    If this is not an option, you can also choose to create a new procurement category and add products to your new procurement category. You can check the official documentation: Set up a procurement category hierarchy - Supply Chain Management | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn. There is also a blog that details how to create and set up purchase categories, add products to new purchase categories, and use purchase categories on purchase orders: dynamics-tips.com.
    Best regards.
    Kevin
