Has anyone successfully completed the setup of the Purchasing Agent and have it working? Also I am assuming it needs to run with a full BC License to enter Purchase Invoices?

Hello,

the Purchasing Agent setup works normally in Business Central, and the licensing is simple:

• Essentials license is enough for entering and posting Purchase Invoices.
• No Premium license required.
• Team Members cannot post, only edit existing docs.

To set it up, you mainly assign a Purchaser Code in User Setup and define purchasers on the Purchasers page. After that, the user can work as a purchasing agent without issues.

Regards,
Oussama Sabbouh

As of now, it is being rolled out gradually (US, CA, AU, UK first, then others).

Agent is succesfuly done by several customer , partners

You dont need premium license for this . But team member license will not work as there is posting of transaction involved

Essential license for user with below permissions

D365 PURCH DOC, POST

Hi,

Yes, the Purchasing Agent feature works, but it requires proper setup and licensing. The Purchasing Agent feature is being rolled out gradually and many users have successfully set it up.

The user needs a full Business Central license (Essential or Premium). Team Member licenses cannot create or post purchase documents using the agent.

Thanks

Rishabh
