Financials > Purchasing > Setup > Purchasing Settings

Search on all Roles which grant access to Requisitions and Purchase Orders

Select the permission Restrict to creating NY REQs and POs only

Click Accept to save changes

When trying to Restrict creation of requisitions and purchase orders to next year only, ALL roles assigned to a user for REQ and PO permissions need to have the permission Restrict to creating NY REQs and POs only checked off for both the REQ and PO folder.
 
Also, in the Purchasing settings, go to the Requisition and Purchase Order Settings tab and check the box labeled as Restrict creation of requisitions and purchase orders to next year only.

To help mitigate the amount of times this needs to be done, keep the REQ and PO permissions checked off year-round and only utilize the Purchasing Setting as the on/off switch for this process.
