Subject: [Vantage] Customer Blanket P.O.'s


I'm sure there is someone out there that has customers using blanket
P.O.'s Can anyone give me any information on how you work with
blanket PO's in regards to sales orders? I need some ideas as to the
way others are setting up their sales orders for customer blankets.
Any suggestions?

We have 7 custoemrs who give us a blanket PO per fiscal year. Here's what
we do:

Set up One Sales order for each customer. This order has no due date in the
header, and references the blanket PO#. The terms are Net 30 for all lines
on this order. The first line on the PO, just says in the Part number: "DO
NOT DELETE" and in the Description: "Blanket Order-CustomerName-FY' 2000.
It has no due date and no quantity. This line is only there so that the
Sales order does not get closed out by shipping of line items.

We have a little Excel table that lists each customer, their blanket PO# and
the correxponding Vantage blanket SO#. We have one person who enters orders
for these types of jobs, and he has a copy of this next to his PC. When he
gets a request for a job from one of these customers, he simply calls up the
blanket SO#, and adds a line fro the order. We have a one to one ratio of
so line to job for these orders. The job is completed and shipped just like
any other order. We bill these jobs based on Time and materials, so when
it's time for billing, the accountant ru s a report to verify that all costs
are received against the job and that calculates the billable amount with a
detailed description which we provide to the customer with the invoice.

HTH,
