Procurement Contracts and Requisitions "Issue"

(I'm sure this goes into a Procure to Pay community, but that was not one of the options available to me when posting this)

We are currently on PS 8.9 Bundle #21.  We've set up procurement contracts for the first time.  We've created a general contract, and under Order Contract Options have selected Corporate contracts and Allow Open Item References.  Here's a quick synopsis of our "issue":

Example:

1.) Create general contract for company A; Corporate contract, open item reference allowed, Max Amt $25,000

2.) Create requisition; company A is vendor for the particular item being ordered

3.) The contract with company A is not referenced on the requisition because we do NOT want to associate this with company A's contract
