Restrict the suppliers to specific categories
We are on R12.1.2, and there is a specific requirement to restrict the suppliers to certain categories. below are the steps we followed for restricting but could not achieve. Could any body tell where we are missing.
1). Approved suppliers are set in purchasing module agianst one category.
2). Commodity is created in purchasing module and attached the category code which is used in ASL.
3). Smart form is created in iProcurement Catalog Administration responsibilty and Cateogory code is associated which is used in ASL.
4). And also in Smart form 'Category ASL' is choosen for Restrict Suppliers field.
5). Non catalog request is created in iProcurement against the category which is used in ASL, all suppliers are coming in Supplier Name LOV instead of suppliers defined in ASL.
