| 2 | +How to manage Blanket Orders |
| 3 | +============================ |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +A **Blanket Order** is a contract between you (the customer) and your supplier. |
| 6 | +It is used to negotiate a discounted price. The supplier is benefited by the |
| 7 | +economies of scale inherent in a large order. You are benefited by being allowed |
| 8 | +to take multiple smaller deliveries over a period of time, at a lower price, |
| 9 | +without paying for the large order immediately. Each small periodic delivery |
| 10 | +is called a release or call-off. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +As the blanket order is a contract, it will have some prearranged conditions. |
| 13 | +These usually include: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- Total quantity of each product to be delivered |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- Completion deadline, by which you must take delivery of the total quantity |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- Unit price for each product |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Delivery lead time in days for each release |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Activate the Purchase Agreements |
| 24 | +-------------------------------- |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The Blanket Order function is provided by the Purchase Agreements feature. |
| 27 | +By default, the Purchase Agreements is not activated. To be able to use blanket orders, |
| 28 | +you must first activate the option. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +In the Purchases module, open the Configuration menu and click on |
| 31 | +Settings. In the **Orders** section, locate the **Purchase Agreements** |
| 32 | +and tick the box, then click on **Save**. |

| 37 | +Create a Blanket Order |
| 38 | +---------------------- |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +To create a new blanket order, open :menuselection:`Purchase --> Purchase Agreements`. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +.. image:: media/manage_multiple_offers01.png |
| 43 | + :align: center |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +In the Purchase Agreements window, click on **Create**. A new Purchase |
| 46 | +Agreement window opens. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +In the **Agreement Type** field, choose Blanket Order. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Choose the **Vendor** with whom you will make the agreement. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Set the **Agreement Deadline** as per the conditions of the agreement. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Set the **Ordering Date** to the starting date of the contract. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Leave the **Delivery Date** empty because we will have different delivery dates |
| 57 | +with each release. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +In the **Products** section, click on **Add an item**. Select products |
| 60 | +in the Product list, then insert **Quantity**. You can add as many |
| 61 | +products as you wish. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +.. image:: media/manage_multiple_offers02.png |
| 64 | + :align: center |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Click on **Confirm**. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Now click on the button **New Quotation**. A RfQ is created for this vendor, with the |
| 69 | +products chosen on the PT. Repeat this operation for each release. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Be careful to change the **Quantity** field on the RFQ. By default, the RFQ quantity |
| 72 | +will be for the entire remaining quantity. Your individual releases should be for some smaller |
| 73 | +quantity. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +.. image:: media/manage_multiple_offers03.png |

| 77 | + |
| 78 | +When all of the releases (purchase orders) have been delivered and paid, you can click on |
| 79 | +**Validate** and **Done**. |
