What is a Purchase Order?

A purchase order (PO)  is a commercial source document that is issued by a business’ purchasing department when placing an order with its suppliers. The document indicates the details on the items that are to be purchased, such as the types of goods, quantity, preferred purchase price and expected delivery date. In simple terms, it is the contract drafted by the buyer when purchasing goods from the supplier.

Creating a purchase order will not increase inventory because the purchased item has not yet entered the warehouse.
When the goods of the purchase order arrive, a warehouse receipt document can be generated from the purchase order, and the inventory will increase at this time.
