Giving Supplier Blanket Agreement to a Purchase Order Line

Hi,

Using the supplier agreement form, IFS has provided two functionalities. Blanket orders (with blanket call-offs being made using Create agreement release, created POs skip steps like authorizing as this is on pre agreed terms with supplier), and supplier price agreements.  Agreement type field in supplier agreement decides what functionality you are using. You cannot change the type to a saved agreement.

If you need to select the agreement you need from multiple agreements on the PO line, to choose the price, your agreement needs to be of type ‘Purchase Agreement’.

IFS help will explain the difference between two types further.

A Blanket Purchase Order is a type of supplier agreement that is used for supplier agreement releases. A blanket purchase order is most often used when there is a need for someone other than a buyer to purchase something. Usually, the purchase is for expensive parts, e.g., for spare parts that are needed quickly, with the service staff making the purchase. With the use of a supplier agreement release (which uses a blanket purchase order), a released purchase order will be created immediately with no need for authorization, since this is done by entering a blanket purchase order.   

You need to enter information in both the blanket purchase order header and on the General tab. A blanket purchase order can be connected to the purchase parts with specified conditions regarding price, discount, and additional costs. Only purchase orders created in the Create Supplier Agreement Release dialog will use blanket purchase orders. (Continued..)

Hope this helps,

At least you should be able to select many parts from the Blanket agreement when doing the Agreement Release.

That would be a nice to have.
