Purchase Order

A document that states a representative of an organization has permission to place an order and that the organization intends to pay the price.

Some companies might deliver before payment is received, while others require payment up front. If the supplier or vendor requires payment up front, your organization will provide you with an invoice and wait for the purchase before the supplier sends the product. After receiving the product, audit the shipment to ensure that all the items that were ordered were delivered.
