What Is a Purchase Order?

A purchase order (PO) is a formal document sent from a buyer to a supplier to confirm the purchase of goods or services. This document outlines product details, pricing, quantity, payment terms, and delivery instructions.

Using a purchase order software like Odoo ensures that every step of this process is documented, accurate, and automated. It reduces confusion and strengthens accountability between buyers and suppliers.
