Best Practices to be followed when Inactivating Categories

Hello Everyone,

We need to Inactivate certain Categories, so we want to know how to proceed on this with the best practices considering open or ongoing Transactions like: Open/ Draft Purchase Orders, Incomplete Purchase Requisitions and Open BPA lines etc.

Some of the key decisions we need to take are as follows:

Guideline on How to decide which date to be used to end date existing Category that will be inactivated?

What should be the logic for Expiration Date for the existing BPA lines which has old Category/ Category Inactivated?

What should be the logic or order when we can delete association of deprecated category and associate/ link replacement Category to the Items?
