Subject: RE: [Vantage] Blanket Sales orders
Do you have an idea or can you estimate what the sales quantity will be for
the term of the order? We enter the entire amount of the order to be due on
the last expected delivery date of the order, then add a line each time the
customer calls for a release and decrease the bulk balance.

Subject: [Vantage] Blanket Sales orders
What is the best way to handle blanket sales orders? Those that come in
with firm release dates are entered with multiple lines by date. Some
blankets are annual commitments where the release is called in as needed.
We enter a year end due date in this case and add releases as they are
called in.
Is there a better way? We look at order backlogs, projected cash, sales
against plan as management tools. If we are not careful our numbers are
artificially distorted by the blanket orders.
