Sales Blanket Order is used when buyer makes an order with large quantities and requires multiple shipments to be delivered within a period of time. It can be considered as a long term agreement between 2 buyer and seller. From the business perspective, this will save the buyer's administration cost by reducing the number of PO issued and also get a better bargain when order in large quantities.

Buyer can plans when the delivery to be made to keep their inventory cost to the lowest.
Whenever a shipment is required by the buyer, a sales order will be created from the blanket order. This can be done with the Make Order function in the Blanket Order. Multiple sales orders can be created from a blanket order depending on how many shipments are required by the buyer.
