Question:
- Can I control and select which approved Order Items Purchasers are allowed to procure?
- Can a buyer only buy items for select locations/departments?
Due to customization, your interface text may differ. In this article, we use the default labels Location and Department. Learn more here.
Answer:
Yes! You can configure your Purchasers to purchase items for orders submitted from specific Locations and/or Departments.
The Purchase by Department feature can be enabled on your domain by reaching out to a Procurify Representative. This feature will allows you to assign Purchasing access to orders submitted by selected Locations/Departments, rather than allow purchasing for all departments.
With the Purchase by Department feature, you will see an additional Departments button when managing Purchasers' Roles.
The Locations option will continue to limit the billing addresses that can be applied to a PO.
The Departments option will limit the items shown in the Procurement screen to items from order requests associated with select departments.
Important: This feature requires appropriate Departments to be assigned to each Purchaser individually. All purchasers will be reset to have purchasing permissions at 0 departments, losing access to procurement items while these settings are being re-configured. We suggest communicating this process with your Purchasers before making changes.
