13. Purchase Order - Types
13
Oracle Purchasing supports four types of purchase orders:
1. Standard - You generally create standard purchase orders for one-time purchase of various items. You create standard
purchase orders when you know the details of the goods or services you require, estimated costs, quantities, delivery
schedules, and accounting distributions. If you use encumbrance accounting, the purchase order may be encumbered
since the required information is known.
2. Blanket - You create blanket purchase agreements when you know the detail of the goods or services you plan to buy
from a specific supplier in a period, but you do not yet know the detail of your delivery schedules. You can use blanket
purchase agreements to specify negotiated prices for your items before actually purchasing them.
3. Contract - You create contract purchase agreements with your suppliers to agree on specific terms and conditions
without indicating the goods and services that you will be purchasing. You can later issue standard purchase orders
referencing your contracts, and you can encumber these purchase orders if you use encumbrance accounting.
4. Planned - A planned purchase order is a long-term agreement committing to buy items or services from a single
source. You must specify tentative delivery schedules and all details for goods or services that you want to buy,
including charge account, quantities, and estimated cost.
