Summary:
This article describes the process for requesting Blanket order and Release order functionality enablement.
Blanket orders are sum-based purchase orders that allow buyers to allocate a specific order amount to a supplier over a set amount of time. Blanket orders are particularly useful if the service is invoiced in several parts during the validity period, such as buying a service for a year. Blanket orders can also be used for ordering consumable goods, such as office supplies, over a period of time.
Instructions:
A change request ticket will be created for you and sent to the Change Request Management team. A Change Request Manager will prepare a quote for the feature enablement and will contact you soon.
Order Matching
To complete the configuration, an Order Matching Category must be created to separate normal purchase orders from blanket orders. For blanket orders, OrderTypeCode must be set as "blanket".
Please note that the best fit recognition method does not support blanket purchase order lines. You must use either "Basic" or "Fill Up" as the calculation rule.
