Purchase Order Blanket Releases

To maintain information about items being purchased under a specific release of a blanket purchase order, use the Purchase Order Blanket Releases form.

Note: Information about the vendor is maintained on the Purchase Orders form. All regular purchase order lines must be associated with a header previously entered on the Purchase Orders form.

The line record contains the following information:

Quantity to be purchased
Cost
Price
Quantity received
Status

Multiple lines can be added.

Note: You cannot delete a PO line release if it is referenced on a Goods Receiving Note line, regardless of the PO or GRN status.

If you are creating purchase order releases for a purchase order that has the Include Tax in Cost check box selected, based on demand through the Material Planner's Workbench, the Unit Cost that is displayed in the Material Planner's Workbench will also include tax.

Use the Drop Ship tab to indicate where shipments are to be sent.

When you select Warehouse from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the warehouse in which to fill the purchase order.
When you select Drop Ship To from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the drop ship to number associated with the desired address.
When you select Customer from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the associated customer number and the ship to sequence number for the desired address.

The fields in the EU VAT tab are used by the European Union (EU). If the Activate EU Reporting field on the General Parameters form is not selected, this tab (or some fields on this tab) are disabled.

Use the Lots tab when you issue or receive a lot-tracked item. This tab is enabled when you select Preassign Lots.

The Actions menu includes options to filter the data to show only lines where the due date is 7, 14 or 30 days in the future, and an option to show only lines where the due date is any number of days past due. You can also choose List Change Log, List Receipts, List Goods Receiving Notes, and List Purchase Order Requisition Lines.
