3340238 - How to accomodate Blanket Purchase Order in Business ByDesign system?

You need blanket purchase order(PO refers to purchase order) functionality for your business usecase because you cannot specify the exact quantity in the purchase order document while creating it.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Log in to Business ByDesign system
2. Select Purchase Requests and Orders work center
3. There is no option to create blanket purchase order

Blanket purchase order terminology is not used in business bydesign system, hence you do not see any option to create blanket PO.

Instead of blanket PO, we use Limit Item. It is applicable for Non-stock material and service.

When you do not know the details of a Non-stock material or Service that you want, you can create a limit item in a shopping cart or in a
purchase order. In the SAP Business ByDesign solution, limit items are items that are assigned a maximum value limit rather than a price in a purchase document.

When creating a limit item in a shopping cart or purchase order, a material, service, or related expense is not specified.
This information is entered later in the goods and services receipt or supplier invoice.

When you create a new Purchase Order, when you add an item, under Item Type, in the drop-down, you can select limit .Once you select Limit item type, the Process type will be either Direct or Third-party .
