Hello;
When I need to create new purchase requisition and add Item (Add Line) , this warning is appeared (Category field must be filled) . my question is : Is it mandatory to fill Procurement Category?? while it is not mandatory to make purchase order of the item. and it was not mandatory before installing the last hotfix.
is there a setup related to this error??
It depends on the the Requisition purpose, if it is consumption, the procurement category is mandatory. ( the item Id look up will show only the products that are attached to a procurement category). you need to either choose an item (which will automatically fills the category) or choose category only
Thank you Kranthi for your reply, but I still have questions:
1) how can I choose the purchase requisition type?
2) Which purchase requisition type does not need to fill the procurement category??
Thanks again 
I am also looking for the answers.
in the procurment module got to setup and in that go to polices. where you make the policies for the purchase requisiton , how to create, how not to create,which to include and which not to include. there u have a option that procurement category can be made mandatory or not a madatory.
Thanks a lot for your reply and support. But I can’t find where I can select if the “Procurement Category” is mandatory or not???
Please if someone can clarify it with snapshots
