			<Paragraph>In a company, <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#Buyer.td" role="glossary">buyers</Link> are responsible for procuring materials and for negotiating with various buy-from business partners and internal agencies on these materials. As a result, they spend a lot of time on tracking materials and answering supply-, quality-, and payment-related questions. Because this session gives a quick overview of item data and easy access to item- and purchase-related data, the negotiation process is smoothened.</Paragraph>
