We are using IFS 10 UPD9. We have Buyer IDs set up for our suppliers. However, when a user creates a purchase requisition, for a no-part line and adds the supplier, the Buyer ID defaults to * regardless of what is set up on the supplier. Is there a way to make the requisition line pull the buyer from the supplier record?

Hi TosohLBlum,
Currently, when creating purchase requisition for a no part line, it's not possible to pull the buyer from the supplier record, unless you get it done via a custom event.
The buyer specified on purchase part/supplier record is indicated by default when you enter a purchase order or when you convert a requisition to a purchase order only.
For example, when you convert a requisition to a purchase order, if no buyer is specified on the line, the Buyer defaults to the logged in user, or the default buyer id from supplier record can be fetched as shown below in the Requisition to order conversion dialog
However, for the scenario you have described (i.e. when creating purchase requisition for a no part line), the recommended way is to to pull the buyer from the supplier record via a customer event. The custom event should be written to fetch the buyer id when supplier id is selected.
Hope this is clear and helps you. Thanks!
This is actually NOT what we are seeing in our system. We have a few users where this is happening. For most users the system does pull the buyer from the supplier record.
At this point the only difference I can see is that the ones where the system does not pull the buyer correctly are those users who have been with the company since our original go-live in version 2004 and their Person ID does not match their User ID.
