Impact of Agreement Styles and Agreements Usage in Self Service Procurement

Summary

Why can't I see my agreements that are all open and active in the Agreements LOV to associate to a requisition?

I am writing this brief article because just these past couple of weeks, I have seen more than a few issues that all ask the same question:

My agreement is active, open, valid has a valid master item and yet I cannot select it in the Agreement LOV in a Smart Form or in the Enter Requisition Line page.

Another version of this question is:

I search for an item that I know has a backing agreement but it does not return the item in the search results or it does not show me the relevant agreement details.
