What is a purchase order?

A purchase order (PO) is an official document issued by a buyer to a vendor that authorizes a purchase transaction. It specifies the items or services being ordered, quantities, prices, delivery dates, and payment terms. Once accepted by the seller, the purchase order becomes a legally binding agreement and serves as a key record for accounting and inventory management.
