What restricts users from ordering specific categories or items in Self Service Procurement?

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement, Content Zones are the primary setup used to control and restrict user access to catalog content. Administrators configure Content Zone rules to explicitly include or exclude specific items, purchasing categories, smart forms, or punchout catalogs. By assigning these Content Zones to specific Requisitioning Business Units or individual users (via procurement roles), the system effectively restricts what specific users can search for, view, and order within the Self Service Procurement application.

A. Approval Workflows determine who must approve a requisition after it is submitted, not what items can be searched or added to the cart initially.
B. Supplier Scores are used in Supplier Qualification and Sourcing to evaluate vendors, not to restrict catalog access for requesters.
D. Punchout Timeouts handle connection issues with external supplier catalogs, not internal access control to specific categories or items.
