## **Purpose:**

The **"Assign Document to Disponent / Purchaser"** workflow card assigns a document to either a **Disponent** or **Purchaser**. If no valid user is found, a fallback user is selected to ensure the document is always assigned to someone.

## **Components of the Card:**

1. **Disponent / Purchaser**
   * **Description:** Specifies whether the document will be assigned to a Disponent or Purchaser.
   * **Options:**
     * **Disponent:** Assign the document to the Disponent.
     * **Purchaser:** Assign the document to the Purchaser.
2. **Fallback User**
   * **Description:** Specifies a fallback user in case the document cannot be assigned to the selected Disponent or Purchaser.
   * **Detail:** The dropdown list of available users lets you choose a fallback user to ensure the document is assigned even if the primary user cannot be determined.

## **Functionality:**

* **Condition Evaluation:**\
  The card only executes its action if both the **"Where"** and **"And Sections"** evaluate as true.
* **Document Assignment:**\
  The card assigns the document to either the **Disponent** or **Purchaser** as selected. If the selected person is unavailable or not valid, the document is assigned to the fallback user.

## **Setup and Configuration:**

* **Select Disponent / Purchaser:**\
  Choose whether to assign the document to the **Disponent** or **Purchaser**.
* **Select Fallback User:**\
  Choose a fallback user from the dropdown list who will receive the document if the primary assignment is not possible.

## **Conclusion:**

The **"Assign Document to Disponent / Purchaser"** workflow card ensures the document is always assigned, either to the selected Disponent/Purchaser or, if needed, to the fallback user. This minimizes workflow disruptions and ensures document processing continues smoothly.
