Profit Center Assignment
By default, a vendor is assigned to all Profit Centers in a site. To manage user security and procurement form entry, it may be necessary to assign Vendors to the Profit Centers that will purchase from them. Procurement data entry forms that require a vendor to be selected will display a list of vendors that is filtered based on the current user's Profit Center access. Vendors that are assigned to "All Profit Centers" (box is checked on editor) are displayed for all users with permission to procurement data entry forms.
