Policy rules

Catalog policy rule

The catalog policy rule determines which procurement catalog users see when they create
purchase requisitions. If a user has been granted permission to order products on behalf of
another user, the requisition uses the catalog policy rule that is defined for the requester’s
legal entity and operating unit to determine which catalog to display. Before you can define a
catalog policy rule, you must create and publish a procurement catalog.

Category access policy rule

The category access policy rule determines which categories users have access to when they

To enable a certain user to only access the Tools category when generating purchase requisitions in Dynamics 365 Finance, the appropriate action is to set up Category access policy rules.

Category access policy rules are used to define and apply access controls to categories in procurement and sourcing, and can be used to control which users can access certain categories. By setting up a category access policy rule, you can limit the users who can access specific categories for procurement activities.

Setting up catalog policy rules would not be the correct option in this scenario, as catalog policy rules are used to define catalog restrictions, such as the maximum amount a user can spend on a particular category.

Similarly, setting up category policy rules would not be the correct option, as category policy rules are used to define procurement policies at the category level, such as the vendor selection criteria and approval workflow.

Setting up purchasing policies at the organization level would not be the correct option, as this would apply policies to all users across the organization, and would not provide the necessary granularity to restrict access to a specific category for a certain user.

Therefore, the correct option is to set up category access policy rules to control the user's access to the Tools category when generating purchase requisitions.
