Releasing Blanket Order for Kits

You can release blanket orders using the Sales Blanket Order Release program (P420111) or using the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101). If you use the Sales Order Entry programs, you must set the processing options to specify that the system process blanket orders and determine how the system process individual and multiple blanket orders. When you release blanket orders using the Sales Order Entry programs, the system constructs the kit based on the components that you selected when you entered the original blanket order. The system displays the kit components using the Sales Blanket Release program (P42116). You use the Sales Blanket Release program to review and release the blanket order lines. To review the components for the selected kit blanket line, you access the View Kit Components program (P420112) from the Sales Blanket Release program.

The system determines pricing on the kit sales order based on the price on the original blanket order, regardless of the selected components.

After you create a sales order from the blanket order for the kit parent, the system reflects the changes on the sales order on the original blanket. If you cancel the order, or increase or decrease the order quantity, the system adjusts the open quantity on the original order. The system updates the open order quantity on the components items based on the bill of material and the parent kit. Changes to the individual component lines of a generated sales order do not affect the original blanket order.
