Automatic buyer assignment on Purchase Orders

 Is it possible to change the buyer assignment hierarchy?

 

 

We currently assign a buyer to most categories. Requisitions are then assigned a buyer dependant on category selection.

 

If a requisition is linked to a CPA or BPA, the PO is automatically created and approved. The buyer named on the resulting PO or release is depends if a buyer has been assigned to that category.

 

 

Example 1

 

The “Stationery” category is assigned to Buyer A

Buyer B is the named buyer on the CPA

 

The resulting PO is created with Buyer A as the named buyer.

 

Example 2

 

The “Furniture” is not assigned to a buyer
