Purchase Order
A purchase order records what a buyer has agreed to buy from a supplier, including item, quantity and terms. The receipt should show what actually arrived, which may differ from the order.
A worked example
A practical example to make the concept clear.
| Step | Illustrative record and result |
|---|---|
| Starting record | PO-DEMO-04 orders 10 kits at 5,000 IQD each: agreed value 50,000 IQD, excluding tax. |
| Change or calculation | Receipt IN-DEMO-04 accepts 6 kits. The purchase order still has 4 kits outstanding. |
| Meaning and exception | A supplier bill for all 10 kits needs review against the partial receipt and agreed billing terms; the PO is not proof of receipt. |
