Blanket purchase orders

Blanket purchase orders (POs) are used to communicate the contractual terms for a given period. The BPOs contain header information and line item details that provide information about the terms and conditions of the transaction, including quantity due, PO expiration date, price, and other associated costs. The requirements that must be shipped are received through schedules, purchase orders, supplier managed inventory, or Kanban.

You can create a shipper based for the customer specified quantities with a specific requirement date.

The BPO functionality is fully integrated with the application. You can configure the BPO alerts on the Alert Configuration page to receive the notifications. You can also select the BPO events, on the EMC Configuration page, that must be displayed on the Event Management Console.
