Overview

The Blanket Order functionality provides buyers with the ability to create a Blanket (or contract) Order for the provision of unspecified products and services to one supplier over a specified time frame. The Blanket Order is pre-approved using the standard approval process. From there, The products and services are provided on a purchase-on-demand basis.

Suppliers can create invoices against the Blanket Order for goods or services provided, which are then sent to the authorized users on the Blanket Order for approval. If it is approved, a matching release order is automatically generated which draws down on the Blanket Order value.
