‘Blanket Orders’ are the blanket agreements that are long-term arrangements between a purchasing organization and a vendor, or a sales organization and a customer, for the supply of items or provision of services over a period of time based on predefined terms and conditions.
New Stuff: Migrate Customers from Sage 100 ERP to Sage 300 ERP
In Sage 500 ERP ‘Blanket Order’ is a purchase order or sales order between customer and its supplier which contains multiple delivery dates over a period of time, often negotiated to take advantage of predetermined pricing. It is normally used when there is a recurring need for expendable goods.
For better understanding; suppose you have to buy a particular good from same vendor in recurring orders or shipments you can set a blanket order for vendor with time limit of days. So you do not need to enter a new PO every time just initially create a BPO (Blanket Purchase Order) and generate PO from it.
Blanket Purchase Order Flow:
- Maintain Blanket Purchase Orders.

- Process the PO
Here are the few steps through which you can generate PO from Blanket Order in Sage 500:-
