A blanket purchase order is a long-term contract between a buyer and a supplier to supply goods or services at a pre-set price, regularly for a certain amount of time. It is a legal document binding on the buyer for the commitment with a supplier. It can reduce time spent and processing delays for repeated orders of the same items or services. It can have limitations on the time frame, quantity, or amount of money. Suppliers can send multiple invoices with the same blanket purchase order number.
