What is a blanket order and how do I use it?
(Reference – HOP Section 6.7.3) Blanket and standing orders are issued for commodities which are used frequently by a department. The department should estimate the quantity of the items desired, determine the effective dates of the order and proposed delivery schedule, and place this information on a People Soft Requisition. Please call the Purchasing Department for assistance with the set up of this type of order.
