BUYER GUIDE

New Functions: Please visit the New Functions page in the Vendor Guide to see the recent additions to the system that also apply to Buyers. 

COMMON FUNCTIONS

The Vendor, Buyer and Group Buy Team components of the system have many common functions, particularly those functions dealing with the creation, maintenance and management of deal sheets. The use of these functions is the same across these three authorities. The differences between the three are focused on specific approval and deal handling responsibilities.  

Two of theses differences are seen on the Buyer Menu page, specifically Vendor Perspective and Re-Open Deal. The other three differences are found on specific deal handling pages.

The options that are common to both the vendor and the buyer are discussed in the Vendor Guide section of this Training Guide. Click on the Vendor Guide link above to access this training material or use the links in the following paragraph to go directly to these common menu functions.

The common functions for Vendors, Buyers and the Group Buy Team are:

• Deal Sheet Entry (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH)
  • Build Deal Sheet (Item Selection)
  • New Item
  • Cost Changes
• Deal Sheet Maintenance (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH) 
• Vendor Grouping (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH)
• Delete Deals (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH)
• Print Deals (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH)
• Deal Search (FAST PATH, DETAIL PATH)

Upon completing your review of the Vendor Guide material you may toggle back to the Buyer Guide to continue training with the Buyer specific functions. Just click on the Training Guide home page and click on the Buyer Guide link. You will return to this page.
