Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

A company will likely have several employees who can make purchases on behalf of the company. POSitive will ask you to select the name of the individual making the purchases for the company and that name will become part of the bill to address on the invoice.  There are also search options to find the company to which an authorized buyer is associated.

Variation: This Authorized Buyer list can also be used to list members of families, or wedding party members, to consolidate billing and invoice history.
