Review the following security bits before you begin using PO Worksheet (POW).
951 – Ability to create and modify finalized POs (if buyer for vendor)--This can be considered a junior buyer security bit that allows a buyer to work on only purchase orders and vendors where he or she is an assigned buyer.
952 – Ability to do PO create/modify activities regardless of assigned buyer--This can be considered a senior buyer security bit that allows you to use vendors even when you are not assigned to them.
990 – Allow Warehouse Pull Ticket Report
1014 – "Allow receiving by line item when receiving a PO and the Central Distribution type is set to A, S, or Y."
If a user does not have this security bit, they must enter the total received quantity (all stores combined) for each SKU in the Distribute Quantity dialog box.
If a user has this security bit, they can enter a received quantity for a SKU in a single store. When the Distribute Quantity dialog box displays, a Manual button displays; if the user presses it, they are taken to the posting area at the bottom of the posting screen where they can then enter a received quantity for a given SKU in the given store.
1050 – "Ability to Receive All regardless of vendor being ‘trusted’ or not." This is an override bit, and users with this bit can always receive by the ‘All’ method regardless of if the vendor is a Trusted Vendor. If a user does not have this bit, they can still use the receive method of ‘All’, if the vendor is a trusted vendor (in this case all users can receive by ‘All”), if the vendor has no assigned buyers (in this case all users can receive by the ‘All ‘method), or if the user doing the receiving is an assigned buyer on the vendor.
Users must also have the standard Purchasing security bits, including:
212 – Change purchase orders
213 – Add purchase orders
509 – Delete Purchase orders
987 – Change and item on a PO
988 - Add and item to a PO
989 – Delete an item from a PO
