Open Blanket Purchase Orders, select a vendor, add items with agreed total quantities and pricing, set a delivery schedule, then create release orders as needed throughout the contract period.
Search for 'Blanket Purchase Orders' in Business Central. This list shows all framework agreements with vendors. Click 'New' to start a blank agreement.
Enter the Vendor No. to link the blanket order to a specific supplier. The vendor's default payment terms, currency, and shipping address are pulled in automatically from the Vendor Card.
In the Lines section, add each item covered by the agreement. Enter the total quantity you expect to order over the contract period and the negotiated unit price. These totals act as the ceiling for release orders.
For each line, set the Expected Receipt Date or use the Planning Flexibility field to define delivery windows. You can also add multiple lines for the same item with different dates to represent a phased delivery plan.
When you need to order a batch, open the blanket order and click 'Make Order'. Business Central creates a standard Purchase Order linked to the blanket agreement and decrements the remaining quantity automatically.
With Zentriq PunchOut, you can capture supplier carts and create orders against existing blanket agreements. The cart items are matched to blanket order lines, so pricing and quantities stay within the negotiated terms.
