Blanket Orders with ERS
A blanket order is an agreement to purchase items at a specified price during a specified period, with exact delivery dates to be determined later. When an item on the blanket order is released, a purchase order is created, using the blanket order as a template.
Create a blanket purchase order in Blanket Order Maintenance (5.3.1). Set ERS values for a blanket order just as you would for a discrete purchase order.
When items on a blanket order for which ERS is active are released, the default ERS values for the purchase orders are determined using the blanket order.
Note: If the ERS Maintenance (28.10.1) settings that affect a blanket order are changed, you must manually update the blanket order using the new settings. You must also manually update any purchase orders based on the blanket order. See
Purchase Orders with ERS.
