We need to change the default buyer for parts. How do you change the default buyer name? It is grayed it in my view. We can change the buyer name in the drop down menu but we have reports that were written using the default buyer name and need to change that field inorder for the reports to pull correctly.

If the Part has a default buyer (greyed out)… it may be tied to the Part Class. Do you have Default Buyer assigned at that level?

Thank you. That was it. Changing Buyer at the part class changed the default buyer.

It’ll change it on ALL parts in that particular Part Class… so… hopefully that’s what you wanted.
