Blanket Purchase Order

A blanket purchase order establishes a longer-term purchasing arrangement against which individual releases are placed. The arrangement sets the agreed item and conditions, while each release specifies the supply currently required.[1]

A merchant regularly consuming the same packaging may use this structure. Make total-volume commitments, release prices and lead times explicit. The existence of a blanket order does not by itself authorise immediate delivery or invoicing of the entire potential quantity.
