Blanket Purchase Agreement
- You create blanket purchase agreements when you know the details of the goods or services you plan to buy from a specific supplier in a period, but you do not yet know the details of your delivery schedules. You can use blanket purchase agreements to specify negotiated prices for your items before actually purchasing them. Prices for items can be negotiated on a blanket purchase agreement by a procurement business unit which can then be made available to multiple requisitioning business units.
Contract Purchase Agreement
- You create a contract purchase agreement with your supplier to agree on specific terms and conditions without indicating the goods and services that you will be purchasing. You can later issue purchase orders referencing your contracts using terms negotiated on a contract purchase agreement by a procurement business unit which can then be made available to multiple requisitioning business units.
