Using the Categories task

Categories are assigned to items in the Inventory Control application. Lawson Requisition Center enables you to search for items by category to include on a requisition.

You must enable a task using Requesters (RQ04.1) or Company (IC01.1). You can enable a task for a requester but not the company, providing the requester access to the task when no one else in the company has access.

Note:  By default, items added through Categories are placed on a separate requisition from items added through Punchout. To allow Punchout requests to be combined with non-Punchout items, set Allow Combined Items = Yes in the rqc_config.xml file or RQ95.1 configuration setup.

See Categories task.
