Purchase Orders

A PurchaseOrder represents a request to purchase goods or services from a vendor. It outlines the details of the purchase, such as the items or services requested, quantities, prices, and delivery details.

A PurchaseOrder is a crucial component of the procurement process, but does not typically result in any impact on the company’s general ledger. The general ledger is typically only affected when the PurchaseOrder is fulfilled as an Accounts Payable Invoice object (also known as a Bill).
