PO04


PO04.1 - Buyer


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 PO20.1 (Purchase Order Entry). You can also assign a buyer code to a vendor
in PO10.1 (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 purchase order entry.


**More Information

This form also provides a tab where you can create a template for a
buyer to use when working in the Purchase Order 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



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 PO20.1 (Purchase Order Entry), 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 IC11.1 (Item Master)
to assign purchasing classes to individual items.



**More Information

Use PO20.1 (Purchase Order 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.
