The types of categories in the catalog that define the catalog's hierarchy are:
• Purchasing Item categories: Every item in the catalog must belong to a Purchasing Item category. Purchasing Item categories are recognized by many integrating Oracle Applications in addition to Oracle iProcurement. The association of Purchasing Item categories with catalog items enables a wide range of functionality in Oracle Applications.
• Shopping categories: Used to group similar items for presentation to the iProcurement user. Shopping categories generally have names that are more shopper friendly than Purchasing Item categories, and are displayed prominently in many iProcurement pages to help requesters find what
they are shopping for.
Shopping categories are not mandatory for all items in the catalog, but they are highly recommended for items that are intended for iProcurement requesters. Shopping categories are found at the lowest level of the category hierarchy; therefore a shopping category can never be a parent category to a child category.
• Browsing categories, also known as navigation categories (or master or intermediate level categories), define the category hierarchy. The category hierarchy helps requesters browse for catalog items Browsing categories can be either a parent or child to another category, but cannot contain any items.
