Procurement category not available for a Replenishment purchase requsition

Posted on by Community member 4
Hello All, 
 
I am testing a purchase requisition with purpose replenishment and I don t have the option to choose a Procurement category - the field is not active
 
 
If I select the Consumption purpose, Procurement category is active and mandatory
 
 
 
I did all the necessary configurations in Purchasing policies and added the procurement category to the Replenishment category access policy rule.
What am I missing here if I want to create a PR for replenishment using a procurement category and not an item?
 
Thank you!

    A Replenishment requisition is intended to be used with Items, so you must select an Item (which will cause the Category to be populated automatically).

    Hi, please check if the category hierarchy is assigned, then check if you have any category directives configured and then publish the catalog

    Hi,
    This article discusses whether and under what circumstances the procurement category field is mandatory when purchasing a requisition, and where to select if the “Procurement Category” is mandatory or not. Although this is about AX 2012, I think this article is equally applicable to Dynamics 365 F&O. Here is the article link: Purchase Requisition (Procurement) Category Field AX 2012 - Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations/AX / User Forum - Dynamics User Group.
    Best regards,
    Kevin
