  • Establishes a Binding Agreement : Once accepted by the supplier, the PO forms a legally binding contract between the buyer and the supplier. This helps to ensure that the supplier will fulfill the order as specified in the terms of the PO.
  • Clarity and Specificity: The PO clearly outlines the goods or services required, including quantities, specifications, delivery dates, and payment terms. This reduces misunderstandings between the buyer and the seller.
  • Budget Control: Organizations often use purchase orders to manage and track their expenses. By issuing a PO, companies can monitor spending against their budgets, ensuring financial control..
  • Record-Keeping: Purchase orders provide a paper trail that helps in auditing and tracking the purchasing process. It serves as a reference for both parties to verify what was ordered and delivered.
  • Inventory Management: POs help businesses track their inventory and ensure that they have enough supplies or products to meet demand without over-purchasing.
