Job-specific blanket agreements

In the job-specific blanket agreement setup, customers can have multiple active blanket agreements. In the web shop, customers select the blanket agreement to use before adding items to the cart.

The Contract BOD is used to replicate job-specific blanket agreements from the ERP to Rhythm for Commerce. Before you can display job-specific blanket agreement information in the web shop and the Business Center, connection points and data flows in Infor ION must be set up to include the Contract BOD. The Contract BOD is used to populate the list of available blanket agreements for each customer.

For more information, see the integration for your ERP and Rhythm for Commerce.

After a customer selects a blanket agreement, the Blanket Agreement web service is used to retrieve the agreement quantity, remaining quantity, and agreement validity dates from the ERP to display in the web shop.

When a customer places an order that includes items in a blanket agreement, the ID of the agreement is sent to the ERP in the ProcessSalesOrder BOD.

After job-specific blanket agreement functionality is enabled, merchant administrators can review job-specific blanket agreements in the Blanket Agreements form in the Business Center.
