Concept: Buyer Hub

Concept: Buyer Hub

The
Buyer Hub
 is a centralized location consisting of cards that enable you to access common tasks and reports for procurement documents. You can view tasks and reports for:
  • Purchase orders.
  • Purchase order acknowledgments (POAs).
  • Requisitions.
  • Supplier contracts.
  • Supplier invoices.
You can view, sort, and filter transactions that require your approval, review, and revision in a set of listed tasks.
In the
Buyer Hub
, you can only view transactions you've created or that you've been assigned to approve or review. These roles enable you to view the respective transaction in your
Buyer Hub
:
  • Requester or approver for a requisition
  • Buyer for a purchase order or POA
  • Buyer (on the purchase order) for a supplier contract or supplier invoice
Example: You create a requisition and select another worker as the buyer listed on the resulting purchase order. You'll be able to see the requisition in your
Buyer Hub
, but the worker whose name you selected for the buyer on the purchase order won't see the requisition in their
Buyer Hub
. The buyer will see the purchase order assigned to them in their hub, but you won't see this purchase order in your hub.
You can access the
Buyer Hub
 from Workday search or from your Home page when you enable the
Buyer Hub
 worklet. You can also configure the worklet to display buyer-related announcements and content on your Home page.
