Re: Blanket P.O.'s - 405cd

Don,

You can effectively do what you have outlined. Once you receive the 50
against the open purchase order, the system will show only 450
outstanding on that PO. The question is where do you want to show the
remaining 450 in your MRP data? Do you want to leave it as Past Due or
do you want to show it as future requirements by maintaining the date on
the PO line to a future date?

Subject: [BPCS-L] Blanket P.O.'s - 405cd

Greetings,

We may have missed or misunderstood something, but is there any way to
effectively use BLANKET P.O.'s?

For example, we want to create one P.O. # (we refer to it as a blanket
P.O.) for say 500, but only create 1 release line, for a specific date,
at a time. Say we release 50 for November 1st, but don't want to
release/order any more just yet, and we are not SURE of the next date we
will want more of this part#. So, we want to leave the P.O. open, but
show an OPEN balance of 450.

TIA
