In the New PO Suggestion module, our purchase manager would like to have the BuyerID default to “INVBUYER” when a line in the “Material List” does not have a Job Number and an Order Number. I see that the POSugg BO only has two methods and I have tried to create a a pre-proc BPM using the GetRowPlant method with no luck. Is it something that can be done ?
Could try an In-Transition Data Directive against SugPoDtl… could be an easy method: condition + set field (BuyerID).
If it works you may have to also set it up for SugPOChg and/or SugPOMsc?
David,
The in-transaction DD against SugPoDtl works great. Whenever I select a line , if my condition is met, the buyer defaults to INVBUYER. Thank you for your help.
What would be reason for also implementing this for SugPOChg and/or SugPOMsc ?

Not sure about Msc. But I would assume NEW PO suggestions are controlled by SugPoDtl… but any generated CHANGE Suggestions may get steered to the default buyer if you don’t have the a similar DD set up there.
You’d have to test, I suppose. Maybe change the min-max inventory on an part that already has a suggestion and see if the CHANGE suggestion gets assigned to INVBUYER or if it reverts back to someone else??
If so, you could then try adding a DD on SugPOChg and see if that keeps all the New/Change PO suggestions together.
