Group setup

Requisitions: Pay groups, see Financials Setup and Administration Guide are names or character expressions that you define and assign to released invoices. You can combine companies or process levels together to process a single vendor payment. Procurement groups, and corporate item groups must be defined for Requisitions.

Procurement card: Each company is assigned to one and only one procurement group. Multiple companies can be assigned to the same procurement group. The procurement group assignment for a company makes all vendors and buyers assigned to the procurement group available for that company, and any other companies assigned to the same procurement group. Contracts can be established for a procurement group so that the contract can be used by more than one company.

Items: A corporate item group is a method of sharing item definitions among companies. If the same item numbers, representing the same items, are used by many companies, those companies should be assigned to the same item group. If the same item number represents different items for different companies, those companies should be assigned to unique item groups.
