Hi @SaaAvinak,

For this, you need to have a Supplier Agreement with Agreement Type: “Blanket Purchase Order”.

After setting up this agreement (Blanket Purchase Order), then you can create the PO by executing “Create Agreement Release” job in the application.

This functionality is described as below in the F1 help documentation:

Create Supplier Agreement Release

Explanation

Use this activity to create a purchase order via a supplier agreement release for a specific part. It is only possible to create one order line on the purchase order.

Prerequisites

• There must exist a valid blanket purchase order for the combination of supplier and purchase part.

System Effects

A released purchase order with one order line is created. The conditions defined in the blanket purchase order will be used. The cumulative values on the blanket purchase order will be updated.

If a supplier contact has been entered for the combination of supplier and purchase part, this will be used on the purchase order. Otherwise, the supplier contact entered in the supplier record will be used.

If an internal destination has been entered, it will be printed on the purchase order.

Hello @Ravinatha Ariyarathna ,

Thank for your response and detailed explanation. I have one more doubt (i am new to PO module)

Example: Suppose I have created a Supplier Agreement for 500 pieces for a given part.
then I created a PO using Create Agreement Release for suppose 100 quantities, Now If I would like to order another 50 items based on my Supplier Agreement, what should I do?  how can I reuse this agreement till it's completely exhausted.
Do I need to create PO every time using “Create Agreement Release” window “.?

Also, when you say, “The cumulative values on the blanket purchase order will be updated.”, where can I find this blanket PO, or it is the same created via “Create Agreement Release”?

Regards
 

HI @SaaAvinak, I believe you can use the same agreement until the agreed qty is finished.

“The cumulative values on the blanket purchase order will be updated.” - this means the quantities in the agreement. When you create a Supplier Agreement with type “Blanket Purchase Order”, this agreement itself is considered as the Blanket PO. But of course, from the “Create Agreement Release” job, you can create a PO from the Blanket PO.

Thank you.
