What can I do in this subtask?

Use this subtask to associate a buyer with valid account/organization combinations.

You can also establish default account/organizations in this subtask that will automatically be linked to a specific buyer. The primary purpose of this subtask is to limit or restrict buyer purchasing by charge numbers. You may also assign buyers to requisitions using this option.

You can use the Query icon to enter your selection criteria, thus narrowing the number of records you can choose to link to this buyer.

When should I use this subtask?

You can use this subtask to link buyers to account/organizations, as needed.

Field Descriptions

This subtask displays two table windows. The left (primary) table window displays all account/organization combinations in Costpoint; the right (secondary) table window displays all records you have linked to the buyer.

You can link records to the buyer by selecting them from the primary table window and transferring these records to the secondary table window using the Select pushbutton, or by manually adding them to the secondary window, directly.

The records in the primary table window are non-editable; the records in the secondary table window, however, are editable.

After you link a record to a specific buyer, only those buyers will be permitted to charge the account/organization combination during purchase order entry.
