Symptoms

We have a buyer that has been disabled in the system that was still the default buyer on over 16,000 rows and will need to have a datafix that will update these to a new default buyer. 

This is an issue because no requisitions are being created automatically from the min/max process thus the buyer doesn't know when to order these parts because of the issue.

Identified the parts from the following query...

select m.segment1, m.organization_id, p.organization_code, m.inventory_item_id,
      m.description,buyer_id, m.last_update_date
from apps.mtl_system_items_b m,mtl_parameters p
where buyer_id = 765
and m.organization_id = p.organization_id;

Steps to reproduce the problem ###
Go to inventory responsiblity
Go to master items
Query item 1607-117
Go to purchasing tab and notice buyer field is blank. If you query from sql you will see the buyer id is from the disabled buyer.
