Hi Chandra

While Po creation Use FO as document type and B as item category

With blanket purchase orders, there is no goods receipt (or entry/approval of services performed). Instead, invoices are posted direct with reference to the blanket PO.

Note thatTo create a blanket purchase order, you must use document type FO and item category B.

There no configuration as such involved in this

Hi

The use of blanket purchase orders enables you to procure a variety of consumable materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined value limit.

Most companies have recurring requirements for minor items (such as office supplies, screws, small parts, cleaning work or other routine services) during the course of the year. Issuing a series of individual (discrete) orders of low value (perhaps with voluminous specifications) for such items, and then recording in detail the work done or goods delivered against the order, is frequently considered uneconomical.

Blanket purchase orders enable you to procure low-value items quickly, easily, and efficiently.

The steps for creating such orders are:

You create a blanket PO for the desired validity period.

The PO need not contain any specifications.

You set a value limit.

It is not necessary to record and accept services performed against the order.During the validity period of the purchase order, incoming invoices are posted directly with reference to the PO, provided that the value limit is not exceeded.

hi,

Blanket Pos can be used to procure materials or services up to a certain value limit from a vendor. We need to mention the validity period for this type of PO's.

Blanket Pos have the document type FO. There will not be any Goods receipt or Service entry here. We can post the invoice directly with ref to PO. System will check for the value limit for each invoice whether the limit is exceeded or not.

We can create this kind of PO's for low value items where u dont need to monitor goods recieving activities

Thanks
