Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An open-ended order is a type of purchase order that allows for additional items to be added to the order, while a blanket order is a type of purchase order that allows for the original purchase order to be extended for a longer term. Therefore, option C, which combines the two: "open-ended order....blanket order," is the correct choice. The other options either misstate the characteristics of these two types of purchase orders or do not accurately describe a purchase order that allows for additional items to be added to the order and for an extension of the initial purchase order.
