The buyer desk has its own Tier 0. Here is the BUYER_HOME starter pack for MAS 9 Manage: seven work-queue result sets and five KPIs, eighteen copy/paste saved queries scoped by buyer code, inbox hygiene with bulk approve and delegation, and the stale-PR, open-PO, and orphan-line cleanup that clears a migration mess in an afternoon.

The finale threads both desks together. Walk the seven phases of procure-to-pay in MAS 9 Manage — Plan, Demand, Source, Order, Expedite, Receive, Match & Pay — as one continuous flow, map the status transitions of all four objects on a single page, and follow one bearing from below-reorder-point to paid invoice on both the happy path and the escalation path.

A ten-part role-and-task playbook for the two people who run supply chain in MAS 9 Manage: the storekeeper and the buyer. Not a feature tour — a Day-1 field guide of Start Center recipes, saved queries, receiving and counting rhythms, reservation hygiene, PR-to-PO conversion, RFQ discipline, vendor escalation, and the full procure-to-pay lifecycle, grounded in how MAS 9.0 and 9.1 actually behave.
