Setting Up a Blanket Order
The following setup items apply to blanket orders:
• Set the Status for POs Released from Blanket Orders. In the site record, specify the status that is automatically assigned to a PO that is released from a blanket order. The status options are Planned (P) or Ordered (O). See
Sites: Purchase Order Tab.
• Blanket Order Approval Group Setup. Set up the blanket order approval group by:
• Assigning buyers to the blanket order approval group
• Setting the blanket order limit for users who approve blanket orders
• Adding users to the blanket order approval group
• (Optional) Specify Mandatory Fields for Blanket Order and Blanket Order Lines. When you specify a field as mandatory in the blanket order header or line, the blanket order cannot be saved until that mandatory field is populated. See
Mandatory Fields.
• (Optional) Enable Revision Control for Blanket Order and Blanket Order lines. When revision control is enabled for the blanket order header and lines, the revision records are displayed in the Revisions submenus. See
Enable Revision Control.
