What is a purchase order

What is a purchase order?

A purchase order (PO) is a document a buyer sends to a supplier to formally request goods or services at an agreed price. It lists the items, quantities, unit prices, taxes, delivery terms and a PO number the supplier quotes back on their invoice. The PO becomes a binding commitment once the supplier accepts, and it controls spend by requiring approval before money goes out.

Why it matters

Control spend before it happens

Purchase orders move spend control to before the money leaves, not after. With approvals, delivery tracking and three-way matching between the PO, the goods received and the supplier bill, you catch overbilling and short deliveries before you pay. That discipline scales from a single buyer to a full procurement team.
