Blanket Purchase Orders and Invoices

A quantity error issue has blocked the ability to process multiple invoices against Blanket Purchase Order (PO) goods lines. To remedy this, a configuration change has been made in OnBase production to allow invoice processing for all existing Blanket POs. 

In addition, the process to create new Blanket POs with goods lines has been updated as follows:

• Set the unit of measure for goods lines as DOL
• Set the unit cost at $1.00
• Set the quantity to equal the extended amount for the PO.

Example: On a $500 Blanket PO, the unit cost will be $1.00 and the quantity will be 500 DOL.

This update applies only to Blanket POs with goods lines. No update is needed for Blanket POs with service lines, as Workday recognizes the extended amount for these POs and posts invoices accordingly. 

For detailed instructions on the updated process to create Blanket POs with goods lines, see the Create a New Blanket PO with Goods Lines job aid.
