Buyer Role

This is the most common role in the Procurement application. Most of the people who need to search for items, add and delete items in a Shopping Cart, and submit the Shopping Cart for processing are buyers.

All buyers have access to the Shop pages, on which they may:

• Browse the Catalog for a category of item,
• Search the Catalog for a particular brand or model of item,
• Select from a saved list of their Favorite Items,
• Make a RoundTrip to shop at a supplier's web site,
• Order regular batches of items using Shopping Cart Templates.
• Check Out their Shopping Cart and submit it for approval and ordering.
