Blanket PO

Blanket POs are used when the order is based on dollar amounts (not itemized). The most common type of Blanket is used to encumber money for miscellaneous items to be procured from the vendor (e.g., hardware supplies needed by a maintenance department).

The PO type must be changed to B and the Blanket Amount needs to be entered on the Blanket Tab of POUPPR.

The line item is also entered with the appropriate amount for the ledger and account number. The amount may be entered for one or multiple account numbers. Use Account section to split the transaction across multiple accounts.
