We are on AX 2012 and I have found the Blanket Purchase Orders are now Purchase Agreements. I have tested the Purchase agreement out and see that I need to release Purchase Orders from the agreement. Essentially I do not see any way to have a true Blanket Purchase Order. If I create a Purchase Agreement for 10K to a vendor, then create a Purchase Order for services and put in a quantity of 10 unit price of 1000, I can then receive in invoices against that purchase order in amounts greater than my Purchase Agreement. The Max option on the purchase agreement only applies to when you create a purchase order. If I attempted to create a purchase order for quantity 10 unit price 1100, it would tell me this is outside of my agreement. Therefore I create a PO for quantity 10 and unit price 1000, then when invoices come in there is nothing that stops me from putting 10 different invoices in for a total amount of 20,000.
When I worked with SAP, we were able to create a receipt PO or a service PO. A receipt PO required a receipt, a service PO did not, therefore we were not tied down by a quantity and invoices wouldn't post over that PO amount until a PO increase approval was done. I need a way to set up a purchase order to have a dollar limit (doesn't matter for quantity) and I want to be able to put multiple invoices to this purchase order but then create an error if those invoices over the year come out to be more than the purchase order.
