How You Assign All Requisition Lines to the Same Buyer

Configure the application to assign all lines in a submitted requisition to the same buyer with the site-level profile option Use Same Buyer for all Lines in a Requisition.

If enabled, when a requester submits a requisition, the buyer assigned to the first requisition line is used as the buyer for all lines in the requisition. To enable this feature, in the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Administrator Profile Values task to set the Use Same Buyer for all Lines in a Requisition (POR_ASSIGN_REQ_SAME_BUYER) profile option to Yes. The default value for the Use Same Buyer for all Lines in a Requisition profile option is No. If a buyer can't be derived for the first line of a requisition, then no buyer is assigned to other lines of the requisition. A procurement agent who has access to other agents' documents can process all such lines on the Process Requisitions page User-specified buyers on any lines other than the first are overwritten with the buyer assigned to the first line if this feature is enabled.
