Use blanket orders to order a fixed number of items for a predetermined price or over a specific period of time. First, create blanket order headers, and then add line items. You can generate purchase orders from a blanket order, associate clauses with blanket orders, and set up user authorization for blanket order releases. When satisfied with the blanket order, approve the blanket order by changing the status to Approved. You must have authorization to create or update blanket orders. You must be a buyer for your organization with sufficient purchasing limit permissions to create blanket orders.
