• Only those users whose Responsible Buyer Indicator is set on their Manufacturing User record (System Setup menu) can create Purchase Orders. Others besides the designated Responsible Buyer (i.e. a user, such as the executive buyer) can maintain the Purchase Order.
• As long as the user has the responsible buyer indicator set on their Manufacturing User record, they can add their own (or another Buyer’s) Purchase Orders. However, only the buyer assigned to the Purchase Order, or the designated executive buyer (specified on the Organizational Department record in system setup), can do revisions.
