This is an issue regarding incompatibility between purchasing policies and vendor searching logic in purchase requisitions lines.
When creating and updating a purchase requisition line, system always searches (and allows saving the line) vendor account into effective purchase agreements even if the vendor account is not allowed by the Category policy rule of the purchasing policy, for the selected procurement category.
This is mainly a problem for Value commitment purchase agreement because its line is always defined for the top level category and it's the standard searching priority for purchase requisition lines.
Vendor found this way can always be removed for each line, but it's always updated for each line update, so it may be very restrictive for users, who may not know that the vendor is not allowed but category policy rule.

Thank you very much for your input. We do not have any plans to extend this capability, we will however continue to monitor how much in demand such a capability is.
