Blanket order的意思

A blanket order is a type of purchase order that allows a supplier to send goods on an ongoing basis over a specified period without the need for a new purchase order for each delivery. It is a blanket purchase agreement that provides a business with a continuous supply of goods at a predetermined price and terms. This type of order is often used for items that are regularly needed, such as office supplies, raw materials, or equipment. The blanket order typically includes a maximum quantity or dollar amount that the supplier can ship before a new order is required.
