A blanket order is a type of Order Entry/POS order transaction. With a blanket order, your customer commits to purchasing a large quantity of an item over an extended period of time. This allows your customer to get pricing based on a large quantity commitment, yet be able to take delivery of the item based on time frames that match their project needs.
At Order Entry/POS, a blanket order allows you to enter a SKU and have it post multiple times based on quantity and delivery date criteria that you enter. This method is faster than posting each item individually to the order yourself.

Order Entry/POS transactions, such as a blanket order, can include delivery dates that are in the future. You can set up various options to determine if and when committed quantity with a future delivery date is considered to be a current committed quantity. Then when you view committed quantity or run a suggested order, the quantity will be a realistic amount and not overstated or understated. For more information, click here to go to the help topic.
