Blanket Purchase Order

Eatec allows users to consolidate the items present in the purchase request item list. As a result of consolidation, each item ends up with a unique supplier and delivery location. This consolidation avoids duplicate records in item list of transactions and makes PO processing easier for end-users. Consolidating Purchase Request or Purchase Request Processing is a functionality where users can post multiple purchase orders by consolidating them based on common supplier, delivery date, and delivery location.
