Managing blanket orders in GP 9.0

Posted on by Michelle Thompson 70

Looking for any ideas or best practices when it comes to managing customer blanket orders in GP 9.0.  We do not get very many in our industry (industrial tooling distribution), but we are seeing a need and have not been able to find a good way to manage without locking up valuable inventory unneccessarily.  So, just looking for others out there who are doing this in GPD 9.0 and what your solutions are.

    I'm confused (not an unusual situation), how does a blanket order lock up valuable inventory? Are you using a document type that automatically allocates? You can change to a document type that doesn't do that. You can create an Order ID with the 'allocate' item set to 'none'.

    Does any of this help?

    Hi Leslie-

    Thank you very much for your input.  It does help.  In answer to your question, right now we are using an order type that allocates inventory.  Curious if we were to use a non-allocating order type, how do you manage to ensure inventory is available for that order when the customer calls to release from it?
