Category In Procurement 

In procurement, a category is a type of goods or services that is purchased by an organization. Categories can be further divided into subcategories. For example, office supplies could be a category, and within that category, there could be subcategories for paper, toner, and pens.

Organizations use categories to help control spending and manage the procurement process. By creating categories, organizations can establish contracts with vendors, set budget limits, and track spending.
