Purchase requisition: Category drop-down blank when selecting non-catalog items

Hi all,

I am attempting to set-up requisitioning of non-catolog items on AX2009. We buy services such as maintenance for which we don't want to set up specific items, so have set up some generic service items.

So far, I have done the following:

Created generic service items for things like general non-stocked stationery etc.
Created a product group hierarchy as follows (will be expanded further in the future)

When I attempt to select a "Category" for the non-catalog item I am purchasing in the purchase requisition add item form, the drop-down is blank.

Strangely, I can type in my "Category" name and then the category will be successfully returned, but for some reason, it is not shown in the drop-down. Any ideas as to why the drop down is blank?

RE: Purchase requisition: Category drop-down blank when selecting non-catalog items

I eventually figured this out. The top level group node associated with the category nodes in the product groups needs to be selected in the Category Catalogue field in the Purchase ledger parameters (Purchase ledger -> Parameters -> Purchase requisitions).
