Purchase Order (PO)

What is Purchase Order (PO)?

A buyer’s official document confirming an order with a seller.

Think of it like this…

A signed “go-ahead” for the seller to supply goods or services.

Why does it matter?

• Legally confirms the order
• Helps match invoices to orders
• Essential for business record-keeping

Best practice

Match the PO number on all related invoices and delivery notes.
