Buyers

Overview

All Purchase orders in TRX are required to have a buyer associated with them. A buyer is considered to be the purchaser who created the Purchase order. Not all companies have or utilize dedicated purchasers so it is possible to have the salesperson default as their own buyer or have one dedicated buyer for the company. In each case that user must be defined as a buyer first in this screen.
