Associating Buyer's Group with Item Group

Hi Guys,

I want to setup Buyer's Group for my Items. So when i create a new Planned Purchase Order, and i select the 'Item Number', i want a Buyer's group to get associated with it, so that when i look into the details, i can see a Buyers Group under the General Fast Tab.

I could associate a Buyer's Group to a Vendor but when i associated that Vendor while creating my Planned Purchase Order, it did not auto populate the Buyer's Group in the details. So i am assuming that it can be associated with the Item Number. Although i dont know how.

As per Technet, 'Use the buyer group to associate vendors with employees and items. When you create a purchase via item coverage or by estimating production, the buyer group is copied to the purchase header, if no buyer group was set up for the supplier. The buyer group is copied to planned orders and shown on reports.' but i can't figure out how to actually use it.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi,

on released product -> purchase fast tab -> administration, there is a field to populate buyer group, if the vendor buyer group is populated then Planned Purchase Order will pick it up from there, else it will copy it from the item, I hope that helps.
