Do not allow user to select and use a 'parent' procurement category

Chin Hung Yang on 7/9/2019 9:37:47 PM

Looking for a way to designate a parent node in a procurement hierarchy as a parent, and not allow a user to select and use the parent category on a requisition, purchase order, and vendor invoice. Currently, there isn't a direct way to prevent user from selecting a parent node.

This is needed because the form doesn't give the user an error message when they select the parent node. The order will go through the process until receipt where it will error and then the order goes back to be fixed and approved again. Too many steps and time waster that can be avoided if the user is not allowed to pick the parent node to begin with or at the very least receive an error message.
