A Blanket Order is a purchase order which a customer places with its supplier to
allow multiple delivery dates over a period of time, often negotiated to take advantage
of predetermined pricing. Discounts and offers can also be included inside the purchase
agreement since they are for regular customers. In the case of certain organizations,
the user can set up festive or seasonal discounts and offers as the agreement and
use it for various customers throughout the period. Considering the sales in Odoo
it has the ability to generate quotation templates for various customers.
