Assign Members to Buyers

Overview

This feature allows you to assign members within a maker organization as persons in charge for each buyer.

Purpose

By centrally managing the correspondence between buyers and assigned members, you can filter by assigned members on various screens where buyer searches are available, such as the buyer list, orders, and deliveries.

Additionally, by clearly assigning target buyers to members whose access scope is restricted via "Role and Permissions," you can perform appropriate data access control, helping to ensure compliance and governance.

Feature Description

What is Assigning Members to Buyers?

This is a feature to assign "Members" within a maker organization as persons in charge for each buyer.

By performing this assignment, it becomes possible to perform filtering searches by "Assigned Member" on all screens where buyer searches are available, such as the buyer list, orders, and deliveries.

Members whose access scope is restricted to "Member's Assigned Customer Buyers" by "Role and Permissions" will only be able to access various data resources after being assigned as a member in charge.
