A Purchase Order is a very important document because it clarifies the order details such as the cost, quantity, shipping terms, etc. POs are used by the Finance or Accounting Department to do the 3-way match (Comparing and Compiling the PO with the Invoice, and the Packing Slips).
Before creating a purchase order, an order needs to be requested and approved. Click here on how to request an order or click here on how to approve an order.
