Buyer Code File Maintenance

Application OverviewBuyer Code File MaintenanceApplication OverviewAddd

 

A buyer must be associated with every purchase order that is entered. This is the means by which the person who initiated the order can be identified by Accounts Payable and Receiving personnel, as well as by anyone else who might have questions about the order or the merchandise ordered. Buyers, themselves, will find this attribute useful because certain applications allow them to access information about their specific orders.

 Storing the buyer's name on each order is an inefficient use of computer resources, so instead, a two‑character code is used to identify the buyer. This application allows you to set up and later modify the file containing buyer codes and the associated buyer names. If there are only a few buyers for your company, you will probably be able to use the buyer's initials as the code.  Larger companies will probably need to use a non‑significant code or one which has more discrete significance than a part of initials.

 In other applications where this code is entered, there will be an option available to the operator to display the buyer codes one by one so that the operator will not have to commit them to memory or be burdened by a printed listing.
