Ok so this is more of an annoying thing than an actual problem but hopefully someone can help me fix this. I buy some software licenses for certain jobs and because they are different every time there aren’t part numbers assigned to them and they are added to the job as a material. I can cut the PO manually just fine but it would be nice to just generate the PO through the new PO suggestions. The problem with that is that I get the error below. I’ve seen this on parts that are in the system that are just set up without a buyer and I can fix that easily but how do I fix this when there’s nothing in the part master for me to look up?
Before setting the buy on the suggestion, open up the suggestion and update the buyer.
I’m almost certain that if you go to Buyer Maintenance and click the “System Default” checkbox on one of your buyers, that buyer will be automatically assigned to those types of suggestions.
I believe @lgraham is right, but if not, a BPM can set the buyer if it’s blank. Or, you can make a software part and change the description each time.
