Frequently asked questions

The purpose of a PO is to enable efficient order management. It’s a legal document issued from a buyer to a vendor to confirm that payment will be made for goods at a later date. POs help control the purchase of goods or services from external suppliers as well as help buyers keep track of what has been ordered and from whom.

P2O in procurement is the procure-to-order process associated with the formal selection of goods or services. This includes front-end procurement stages such as raising a purchase requisition, assignment of a purchase order, and order confirmation steps.
