Use the Reviewing Buyer Workload window to review requisition assignments. You can identify requisition lines that reference the wrong buyer or that were not assigned to a buyer. You can also use this window to analyze buyers' workloads. Use the Assign Requisition Lines window to assign or reassign requisition lines to buyers.
To review buyer workload:
Navigate to the Review Buyer Workload window by selecting the Review action and then selecting the Find button in the Find Requisitions Line window.
For each buyer, Purchasing displays information for the requisition lines that meet the search criteria entered in the Find Requisition Lines window.
Assigned - The number of requisitions lines currently assigned to the buyer.
Urgent - The number of urgent requisition lines.
Late - The number of requisition lines for which the current date is later than the Need By date less the lead time.
Needed - The number of requisition lines for which the Need By date is within the Need By search criteria entered in the Find Requisition Lines window.
Open POs - The number of open purchase orders referencing the buyer.
At the bottom of the screen, Purchasing displays the total number of unassigned requisition lines, and the number of these that are Urgent, Late, and Needed (as defined above).
Close the window to return to the Find Requisition Lines window.
