Upon receipt of an invoice from a supplier, users with the Create Invoice role can create invoices against a blanket order, which is then routed to the blanket order creator and authorized users for approval. If it is approved a matching release order is automatically generated which draws down on the blanket order.
Drawing Down Using an Invoice
- Under Marketplace, select Orders from the left menu and locate the blanket order by using the search filters at the top of the page. For more search filters just click the Filters button on the right.
- Open the blanket order by clicking on the order number.
- Click Invoice Order in the top right of the screen.
- Entering the Invoice Number, Invoice Date and any other information needed like attachments or comments.
- Add the products by clicking on Add Invoice Item, entering the product details and clicking Add or, Add More if adding more products.
- Once you are happy click Create at the bottom of the Invoice Order page to route the invoice for approval.
Note: An invoice can still be entered for Blanket Orders past their Valid To date. As long as the invoice date is between the Valid From and End Dates of the Blanket order and there are still Funds Available to draw from. |
