Encumbrance management and blanket purchase orders

Writing on Dynamics GP Support and Service Blog, Angela Eckman Ebensteiner stated that since the team has been receiving more questions on enabling encumbrances, she noticed that there wasn't a whole lot of information about how blanket purchase orders work with this feature. 

So in her blog post, she offered some details on how the tables look and how Microsoft Dynamics GP validates against the budget and encumbers when using blanket purchase orders since that's different than how it works with a standard purchase order. 

Dynamics GP SOP orphaned transactions and allocated items

On the Encore Business Solutions blog, Don McNulty noted that the Dynamics GP sales order processing (SOP) lets users enter quotes, orders, invoices, returns, and back orders.
