Prevent Procurement Category Parent from Being Used on Purchase Requisition

(0) ShareShare

Is there a way to not have users see the parent categories from the catalog when creating a purchase requisition?  I thought about using the policies but vendor is not a requirement on the PR so if no vendor, the category policy does not work.

Thanks

    RE: Prevent Procurement Category Parent from Being Used on Purchase Requisition

    Hi Yepitsme,

    When creating a purchase requisition, you should first set the purchase category hierarchy and add vendors and products to the purchase category. Each purchase category can be associated with a specific vendor, product, etc.

    However, the parent category of the purchase category cannot be hidden by searching related documents and performing the following operations.

    • Set the purchase category hierarchy and add vendors to the purchase category.

    Procurement and sourcing>Procurement categories

    • create procurement catalogs.

    Procurement and sourcing>catalogs>procurement catalogs

    • Set the purchasing policies.

    Procurement and sourcing>Set up>Policies>purchasing policies.

    If you need specific operation steps, please check the following links:
