# Assign procurement categories to WBS lines

To be able to subcontract WBS lines, for each to-be-subcontracted WBS line, define the procurement category. This procurement category is used to create purchase order lines for subcontract lines. The procurement category is used to define the type of work a WBS line relates to. This makes it easier to find the right subcontractor for a WBS line.
