Note for Suppliers:

Include items from all suppliers: Users can create the requisitions for all the items for all the suppliers (It should have Blanket Purchase Agreements)

Include items from specific suppliers: Users can create the requisitions for the items which was assigned to a specific supplier. If we enable this option then we need to enter that specific supplier name (It should have Blanket Purchase Agreements)

Exclude items from specific suppliers: Users can not create the requisitions for the items which was assigned to a specific supplier.

Exclude items that are sourced from suppliers: Users can not create the requisitions for the items which was already sourced from the suppliers (ASL and Sourcing Rule).

Include items without suppliers: Without the Blanket Purchase Agreements, the users can create the requisitions for all the items. As soon as we create the items with purchasing category and if that purchasing category mapped into shopping category then we can raise a requisition.

In the above case, we have created the "Flex Content Zone" and given access to all the users. So, we can raise a requisitions for all the items without the Blanket Purchase Agreements.
