A purchase order is a legally binding document that is issued by a buyer to a supplier. It is used to initiate the ordering process and typically includes information such as the buyer's name and contact information, the supplier's name and contact information, a description of the goods or services being purchased, the quantities and prices of each item, the shipping and delivery details, and any other relevant terms and conditions.

A fun fact about
Purchase Orders
The concept of purchase orders can be traced back to the early 20th century when they were first introduced as a means to streamline and formalize the procurement process in manufacturing companies.
One of the pioneers in popularizing the use of purchase orders was Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company. In the early 1900s, as Ford's automobile manufacturing operations were rapidly expanding, he faced challenges in managing the procurement of raw materials efficiently.
To address these issues, Henry Ford and his team developed the concept of purchase orders. They formalized a system where specific documents were created for each order made to suppliers. These documents, known as "purchase orders," listed the details of the items to be purchased, their quantities, agreed-upon prices, and delivery dates.
