Buyers Maintenance

You use this program to create and maintain Inventory buyers.

A buyer indicates the person in a company who is responsible for purchasing stock items. Buyers are assigned to stock items within the Inventory module.

Buyers can be used as a selection criterion to generate reports in the Requirements Planning module. For example: If you have a number of buyers within a buying department (each responsible for a different product line) you can generate reports selectively by buyer.
