Yearly Blanket POs

Mid-November/beginning of December – start the yearly blanket PO process for Logistics (56 POs), IT (16 POs) and Office Admin (8 POs).

First step is to check each PO in SAP for the YTD spend & generate a new spreadsheet with this information along with the vendor numbers, accounting codes, etc.

Next step is to review current years spend to date and estimate dollar amounts needed for the next year with Terry Barriball. This then gets reviewed with his Finance Partner and executive summaries are created for all spend over 100K.

If a new contract is required, the contract goes to legal to be reviewed & legal stamped. Next it is entered into ServiceNow for internal approvals. Once approved, the contract is sent to the vendor to sign, and the fully signed contract is uploaded into ServiceNow and sent to legal to file. A requisition is started at this stage.

Any vendors under 100K which don’t require a new contract, the requisition is entered into SAP for a PO. All IT & Office Admin vendors are under 100K, and most do not require a signed contract.

Each blanket PO is emailed to the vendor at the beginning of the new year (or when available). Larger ones can take up to 2 months for internal approvals and to receive the yearly PO.

Usually need to send the blanket PO at least 2 more times for the vendor to start adding it to their invoices or to get the PO to the appropriate person.

A spreadsheet containing all the new blanket POs is emailed to B+L accounts payable to be used for referencing when the vendor has the incorrect PO on their invoices.
