A Sales Purchase Order, or PO, is a legal document you send to a customer to confirm a purchase. Purchase orders outline what the buyer would like to purchase and how much of it they would like to receive. These agreements help both the buyer and seller document their transactions.

This keeps the small business’ operations efficient and organised. It also allows you to ensure you can provide the goods and services requested before committing to fulfilment, giving the buyer time to plan accordingly. Additionally, purchase orders can help the buyer and seller maintain accurate, detailed records for auditing and financial statements.
