This tip comes to you courtesy of a customer who had asked this question last week. The customer was concerned that the buyer assignment rules were not functioning in the manner expected. Customer had created a smart form and expected the corresponding buyer assignment rules to apply. However, the rules were not applied to the requisition and the order.

On further analysis, it was determined that the Buyer Assignment Rules were set to apply to Non Catalog Requests. 

Tip:

1. In the Buyer Assignment Rules setup, one of the attributes is entitled 'Non Catalog Request'. Use this attribute to determine whether or not a specific assignment rule should or should not apply to a non catalog request
