Editing Blanket Purchase Orders

1. In the upper pane, click Purchasing.

2. In the left navigation pane, click Blanket Purchase Orders. The Blanket Purchase Orders Search panel is displayed.

Here are some tasks that you can perform when editing blanket purchase orders:

• Modify the blanket purchase order header details.

• Add new catalog item(s) to the blanket purchase order (see Adding Catalog Items to a BPO).

• Add a note to the blanket purchase order (see Adding a Note).

• Schedule releases for BPO line items (see Deleting Items from a BPO).

You cannot add non-catalog items to a blanket purchase order. Due to the long-term nature and pricing structure of blanket purchase orders, only catalog items may be added to BPOs. Blanket purchase orders typically involve contracts with known suppliers. If you need an item added to the catalog for a BPO, contact your System Administrator.
