Blanket Purchase Order for GL Account not Items

Posted by Joseph Gorman on February 9, 2025 at 9:21 pm

Hello All,
Has anyone used a Blanket PO for a GL account – e.g., I want to set up a blanket for a vendor that does maintenance. They send multiple invoices per week. What I am not clear on is the Quantity field on the order, as we don’t receive a physical qty. If I set up a qty of ‘1’ that doesn’t really work so what else – an arbitrary number that is large enough to cover all the possible orders?

I’ve never done this on a blanket PO, but we’ve handled the variable amounts by setting the unit price to $1 and the quantity to the amount. Then you can receive/invoice using the dollar amount as the quantity.

You are on the right track. I would set the Quantity to a large number (e.g. 240 for 240 working days per year). Each time you need an individual related PO, adjust the Qty to Ship as needed (probably 1), then create order.
