Procurement category on Purchase requsition

Hi all,

I created a product. and i want to create purchase requsition for this product. but in the itemid lookup field in purch req form this item didn’t exist.

After i added this item to a procurement category, the product existed in the item id field.

When creating new purchase requsition, it is not mandatory to add the product to a procurement category in previous versions.

In AX 2012 R2 if we want to create a purchase requsition for a product, do we have to add the product to a procurement category ?

Regards,
