  Enhanced Supplier Search for Non-Catalog Items [GUIDEB-304]
This feature enables users to view the most relevant suppliers when they create a non-catalog request or line-item form. When this feature is enabled, the recommended suppliers that display are mapped to the commodity code of the item on a request form. This is helpful is you want users to only choose from existing suppliers that have catalog items with the same commodity code as the item on your request.
