How to handle a bulk order from a customer - similar to a blanket PO

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All, we have customers that issue a blanket PO to us for product that they intend to purchase during the season. Is there a way in SOP or via a third party product, to enter that order in and pull from it, so that the remaining amount is easily shown? GP has this functionality on the PO side for us to create a blanket PO for a vendor. Thanks. Bill B.

    Perhaps this is something Binary Stream may have dealt with in the past through customization, which just hasn't been included into the product? I would recommend reaching out to them to see if you can establish the degree of difficulty of such a change.

    Thanks for the suggestion Harry. This is getting close, but it does not seem to have the capability to peel off a quantity from the gross quantity.

    Hi Bill,

    Have you tried allow repeating documents in sales order setup.

    please have a look at the following.

    Bill, 

    You should take a look at Sales Document Splitting Manager from Binary Stream.

    Thanks. I am aware that this is not available in native GP. I am wondering if there may be a third party program to handle it or someone has devised a work around.

    I think, blanket option is not available for sales module in GP.

    Hope this helps!!!
