It includes the purchase order number, buyer and supplier details, goods or services description, quantity, price, delivery date and location, payment terms, and terms and conditions. The supplier acknowledges and accepts the terms outlined in the purchase order, creating a contractual agreement. The purchase order is a reference for invoicing, delivery tracking, and reconciling the goods or services received.

It is an internal document that initiates the procurement process, outlining the specific details of the requested item or service, such as quantity, description, estimated cost, and any other relevant information. It typically undergoes an approval workflow before being converted into a purchase order or actioned to obtain the requested goods or services.
