Hi,

In general the Blanket POs are used for consumable materials such as Xerox papers with a short text (does not need to have Master Record) with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement.The doc type is 'FO' (Framework Order).

The GR or Service Entry for the PO are not necessary in case of Blanket POs as well as one need not to mention the account assignment category during creation of PO it can be 'U'-unknown & can be changed at the time of IR.

Dear

Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....

For making Blanket PO....you have to choose Order type: FO in ME21N....with Item category "B"(Limit)

For creating Blanket PO... You need not have to maintain material master.....Maintaining Acc.assignment Category in PO is mandatory....also you have to maintain Validity Period in Blanket PO...

As per SAP Best Practice.....for Blanket PO, GR is not possible.....you can directly post multiple Invoices for One Blanket PO....The validity and total Value of these Invoices for Blanket PO during LIV can be controled by tollerance keys LA and LD.
