Purchasing Info Records - 2

The purchasing info record is an important source of information for the buyer. When creating the purchasing documents, the data from the info record is copied into the document as default values. You can also use the list displays for the info records to determine which vendors offer a particular material or which materials can be procured from a particular vendor. A purchasing info record can be valid at both purchasing organization level and plant level. It also includes general data that is valid cross-client for every purchasing organization or every plant.
