Blanket PO's

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rickster88 240

Hello all. We just switched to NAV last monday 6-2-2014 and this was done with no training to us employees at all. I'm in purchasing and need help on some things. The question I have right now is about blanket PO's and how I do releases, (Make Order) from the blankets.

The first Make Order I did from my blanket PO, I was told to enter the quantity that I wanted in the Qty To Receive Line. I did that and hit make order and it worked great and I sent the PO to my vendor.

I went to do another Make Order from the same Blanket PO and the quantities that I entered in the Qty To Release Column are still there and there is also a quantity in the Qty Received column. So my question is, to do another Make Order, do I clear out the old quantities that I entered for the first Make Order and then enter the new quantity that I need?

someone please help!!!!!

    When you fill e.g. 1000qty in 'Quantity' field and fill 50qty in 'Qty to receive' and make order and post it, you will get still 1000qty in 'Quantity', 50qty in 'Quantity received' and 950qty in 'Qty. to receive'. Value in 'Qty. to receive' is remaining quantity for order creating.

    When you want to make a new order, you only need to change quantity in 'Qty. to receive' field with quantity for you want to make a new order and run 'Make order' again.

    The quantity received column on the line represents how much you received on the PO which you created first  and the existing qty. to receive on the line is outstanding quantity i.e. quantity received - quantity, which you can update accordingly and use the Make Order Function again, which will create the PO to match the qty. to receive on your blanket PO Line.

    You don;t have to clear the quantity on the line unless the qty. to receive column does not have enough quantity you require. Just update qty. to receive and use the make order function.
