PO04


PO04.1 - Buyer

**Form Purpose
Use Buyer (PO04.1) to define and maintain buyers in the Purchase Order
application. The buyer code usually corresponds to a buyer name and is
required in PO20 (PO Entry). You can also assign a buyer code to a vendor in
PO10 (PO Vendor). If you assign a buyer code to a vendor, that buyer code
defaults on all purchase orders for that vendor unless you override it at PO
entry.

**More Information
This form also provides a tab where you can create a template for a buyer to
use when working in the PO Worksheet (PO23.1) form. The template defines
filter values that are used when document or other filter values have not been
entered.

PO04.2 - Buyer Purchasing Class

**Form Purpose
Use Buyer Purchasing Class (PO04.2) to assign major and minor purchasing
classes to a buyer. Using this form is optional. You can use it if you decide
to limit a buyer you have set up in PO04.1 (Buyer) to order from specific
major and/or minor purchasing classes only. The buyer is then restricted to
ordering only the classes of items entered here.

**Processing Effect
If a buyer creates a purchase order that includes an item or items that are
not in the purchasing classes assigned to that buyer, the purchase order
cannot be released in PO20 (Purchase Order), it must be released in PO22.1
(Authorization/Release) by someone authorized to do so. Use IC07 (Purchasing
Class) to define purchasing classes. You can also use the IC11 (Item Master)
to assign purchasing classes to individual items.

**More Information
Use PO20.1 (PO Entry) to assign a purchasing class to the purchase order line
of an existing order. After you inquire on an order, choose the More button.
You can assign a purchasing class under the Detail tab.
