Framework orders
You can use a blanket order to order services or articles over a defined period of time and without a fixed delivery date. Blanket orders are often used in conjunction with services for, e.g., machine maintenance and construction projects. By entering the start and end of the term of the order, the period during which the services can be provided is defined.
In combination with invoicing plan items, an invoicing plan is created for the automated creation and payment of invoices in your SAP system.
In combination with limit items, you can specify, in the case of services performed by the vendor, the value that may not be exceeded and/or the value above which approval is required.
Hint For blanket orders, no goods receipt is required for invoicing. The Goods Receipt (GR) step should be deactivated in the purchase order processing workflow. |
To create a blanket purchase order, call up the order list under Operative Purchasing → Order Processing → Purchase Orders . In the order list, you can create a new purchase order by clicking the New button.
