The expense type field in Invoice capture is displaying, and allows you to select, all procurement categories from D365 F&O including inactive categories. The procurement categories are displayed as a single line of text from a virtual entity. A PCF control allows for the field to be displayed on the form as a dropdown even though it is a single line of text in Dataverse. The values are coming from inside the control (could be a virtual table or could be an internal API) and populates the field based on that logic. If the field were a standard option set field, then we could filter it, but we cannot filter the values rendered by a MSFT PCF Control.

There is currently no supported way to filter the expense type dropdown in Invoice Capture. Microsoft should provide a way to filter this dropdown or only display active procurement categories by default.
