Blankets

These processing options specify how the system processes blanket orders.

1. Generate Order for Item with Multiple Blankets

Specify whether to generate a purchase order for an item that has multiple blanket orders without releasing any blanket orders. Values are:

Blank: Generate a purchase order for the item and do not release any blanket orders.

1: Do not generate a purchase order from an item that has multiple blanket orders, but display a message on the report indicating that a purchase order was not generated and the reason.

2. Blanket Order Type

Specify the type of document to create.

This code also indicates the original document type of the transaction.

Document types are UDCs (00/DT) that you set up. There are reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets for which the system creates automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries are not self-balancing when you originally enter them.) These document types are predefined; do not change them:

P: Accounts Payable documents.

R: Accounts Receivable documents.

T: Payroll documents.

I: Inventory documents.

O: Purchase Order documents.

J: General Accounting and Joint Interest Billing documents.

S: Sales Order documents.
