What is a Purchase Order?

A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer to a supplier, committing to purchase specific goods or services at agreed prices. It is one of the most important procurement documents — it creates a legal obligation and forms the basis for supply chain tracking and payment approval.
