Procurement PO

Purchase Order

A formal buyer document authorising a purchase from a supplier.

A purchase order is the buyer's binding offer to a supplier specifying items, quantities, prices and terms. Once accepted it becomes a contract and the reference point for receiving and invoicing.

POs bring control and an audit trail to spending: nothing is bought without an approved, numbered document to match against later.
