Enter nothing (to allow BPO number auto-assign) and click Ok
Click OK to acknowledge
If prompted click Y to accept date in future month
Enter the number of the requisition you choose from the LiveExcel report

At this point the Blanket PO is created. If you refresh the LiveExcel query now, you will see the requisition status has changed from O to P and the BPO Number assigned is shown.
