Set up Blanket Order Deviation

The blanket order deviation allows a tolerance on the quantity when creating orders from blanket orders. To use Blanket Order Deviation, start by setting it up as follows.

Set up a default deviation on the vendor card

You can define a default deviation percentage on the vendor card. This value is automatically copied to every new blanket purchase order line for this vendor.

  1. Choose the Search icon, enter Vendors, and then choose the related link.
  2. Open the vendor card for the vendor you want to configure.
  3. On the Import FastTab, fill in the Default Blanket Order Deviation % field with a value between 0 and 100. For example, enter 10 to allow a 10% tolerance on blanket order quantities.

Set the deviation on a blanket purchase order line

You can override the vendor default on individual blanket purchase order lines.

  1. Choose the Search icon, enter Blanket Purchase Orders, and then choose the related link.
  2. Open the blanket purchase order.
  3. On the Lines FastTab, fill in the Blanket Order Deviation % field with the desired tolerance for that specific line.
Note

The Blanket Order Deviation % field can only be edited on blanket order lines. It accepts values between 0 and 100.

Enable the deviation check on release

Optionally, you can enable an additional quantity check that runs when you release an order linked to a blanket order. This setting exists separately for purchase and sales.

  1. Choose the Search icon, enter Wood Setup (Purchase), and then choose the related link.
  2. Enable the Check Blank Order Qty. on Rel. field.
  3. When enabled, the system validates the total ordered quantity against the blanket order quantity (including the deviation tolerance) at the moment of release.
Note

For sales blanket orders, enable the same field on the Wood Setup (Sales) page.
