    Hi,

    Purchasing Agent will always be able to purchase from any categories. This is used for Purchase Requisitions that are used by employee to communicate their purchasing needs to Procurement department.  Only the categories selected will appear to a employee using a purchase requisition.

    If you create different policies for different organisation, you can make categories accessible to the employees of that organisation and not to others.

    Hi again,

    Apologies, I did not understand the question. I looked up some references and I am afraid the description of its function is too vague. I would need to test and see the impact of enabling and disabling.   Here is a reference that explains it (look at para 6):
