Use Current Date to Source a Blanket Agreement Line on Requisitions and Purchase Orders
Use the current date to determine the source agreement line on purchase requisitions and purchase orders when agreements are configured to use the order date for pricing and an agreement line start date is specified. Before this update, the application used the requested delivery or shipment dates to source an agreement line.
When using this feature to enter requisition and purchase order lines, you can only select agreement lines that are effective as of the current date. The application automatically sources a blanket purchase agreement line effective on the current date and derives the price from that line. For change orders, the price on purchase order lines will remain unchanged, even if the requested delivery date is updated.
This table provides an example of a blanket purchase agreement configured with the start date and expiration date on the line:
| BPA Line | Item | Price | Start Date | Expiration Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Liquid Soap | 9 USD | 01/1/25 | 01/31/25 |
| 2 | Liquid Soap | 10 USD | 02/1/25 | 02/28/25 |
| 3 | Liquid Soap | 11 USD | 03/1/25 | 03/31/25 |
This table provides an example of how price is derived on requisitions and purchase orders based on the current date:
| Scenario | Current Date | Requested Date | BPA Line | PO Line Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When purchase order is created or submitted | 01/22/25 | 02/22/25 | 1 | 9 USD |
| When change order is created to update the requested date | 01/22/25 | 03/23/25 | 1 | 9 USD |
In the example provided, the blanket purchase agreement is configured to use the order date for pricing, with a specified start date on the agreement lines. When the current date is 01/22/25, the requisition or purchase order line will reference agreement line 1, and the item price associated with that line is 9 USD. If you create a change order to update the requested delivery date to 03/23/25, the price on the purchase order will remain unchanged.
These screen captures illustrate the feature.
