One blanket order can have several release requests

Format: Company perspective.

A blanket order is not one large shipment waiting to leave.

In Business Central, a blanket order holds a long-term agreement. Microsoft says the counts on it do not affect stock shown as available. Staff can turn separate shipment lines into sales orders. [S10] That is how this product works. Check your own system's rules. Do not assume a blanket order has held the goods.

Keep the main agreement, or parent, separate from each request to ship. Each request is called a release. Here is a hypothetical sketch:

Parent B-50: The approved agreement covers 600 cartons. Keep its terms here.

Release R-1: Linked to B-50. Request for 100 cartons, approved. Link the shipment proof.

Release R-2: Linked to B-50. Request for 200 cartons. Staff still need to agree on a delivery date.

Release R-3: Linked to B-50. The request changed. Keep the old and new versions, but count only the current request.

For each release, note the count, unit, ship-to reference, and date needed. Save the request from the person who may place it for the customer. Record approval and link any shipment. A requested count is not a shipped count.

Before the next release review, ask:

  1. How many cartons were requested, approved, shipped, or canceled?
  2. How much is left on the parent agreement? Does this release fit its count and terms?
  3. Did the customer approve this release, where it goes, and when?

A parent agreement does not answer every release question. Keep R-2 on hold while its date is still unclear. A valid parent code does not settle that question.

Core Agentic can plan custom software to show these links beside your account and warehouse records. Staff still approve terms and shipment release. This is a possible design, not a live connection to your business system.
