This article covers the legacy Supply experience, which is available to organizations in the U.S. If your organization is in Australia, you're on the new experience.

What are buying groups?

In Supply, a buying group lets you organize who can buy which products and how much they can spend. Admins can create and manage buying groups. Everyone in a buying group shares the same budget, so you don’t need to set a limit for each user.

With a buying group, you can:

  • Set a custom budget for the group, either per order or per month.

  • Restrict the group to a catalog of approved products. You can share one catalog across several buying groups.

  • Save payment methods for the group.

  • Assign group managers to manage budgets, catalogs, and payment methods, and to approve or deny orders.

Click "Add" on the buying groups section of the Manage Supply page to create a buying group.

Buying groups in Supply are managed separately from groups you can create and select in the rest of the platform.
