The purchase order is an electronic document that is sent by the customer to the seller to request for supply of certain goods and services. It is the first official communication from the buyer, containing the details of the specific items required, their quantity, and the prices agreed upon along with other details that may be required for the goods and services.

The purchase line orders contain the details of each of the items types ordered as well as the quantity of each item. Each type of commodity has a unique sales line number. Numerous purchase line orders can be contained in a single purchase order.

The purchase orders are used by the seller to prepare the items for shipment. The purchase orders are also important in providing the seller with information about the buyer to track sales records, authorize shipments and plan properly the shipment methods in line with the customer’s needs. This helps a business to grow and reach more customers by simplifying how you make sales. It makes it easier to make purchase orders and also improves the efficiency of the seller’s ability to account for stock and manage sales.
