Procedure documentationMaintaining an Area of Responsibility

 

You use this procedure to set up the area of responsibility used by the perishables buyer throughout the procurement process. The area of responsibility is defined as the range of supplying sites, articles, suppliers and recipients for which the perishables buyer is responsible.

This procedure must be executed before any other actions, since all procurement activities are done in the context of the individual buyer's area of responsibility.

Note Note

Perishables buyers can only maintain their own area of responsibility. If you are logged in to the work center as a perishables buyer manager, you can maintain the area of responsibility for all buyers reporting to you.
