What is a Purchase Order (PO)?
A Purchase Order (PO) is a document that is sent from a buyer to a supplier, detailing the products, services, and quantities that the buyer wishes to purchase.
What are the benefits of using a PO?
Using a PO adds clarity and accuracy to business transactions, as it provides a clear record of the terms and conditions of the purchase. This can help to prevent disputes or misunderstandings over what goods or services have been agreed to.
What information is included in a PO?
A PO typically includes the buyer's name and contact information, the name and contact information of the supplier, the date of the purchase order, a list of the goods or services being purchased, the quantity of goods or services being purchased, the unit price of each item, the total cost of the order, the payment terms, and any other relevant information.
