Crazy! I cannot find the Buyer field in Supplier Maintenance. WTF?
I forget if they had that field in E9, I would think they did.
Would it really only be part class that dictated it???
In out-of-the-box Epicor, the Buyer is not set at the supplier level. You can specify particular buyers at the Part > Site level and/or the PartClass level. If both have values, the Part > Site value wins.
To set a buyer for a supplier, you’d need to customize.
For larger suppliers, it’s not unusual to have more than one buyer: Grainger, Amazon, etc. Like Ernie said, Epicor is set up to use Part Class since buyers often stick to “what they know” when there is more than one buyer.

I cannot find Site in E9. I found plant but no buyer there.
I’m sorry… in E9 it is called Plant (that will change to Site when you upgrade). Take a look in the PartPlant table (they haven’t changed that) and see if there is a BuyerID field in the table or if that didn’t get added until E10 either.
