Purchase Order Overview

A Purchase Order (PO) - a document that authorizes a vendor to sell and ship you inventory parts at a specific price - is the tool by which you order inventory from your vendors.

Purchase orders can provide a formal, structured workflow for ordering from your vendors - see the Purchase Order Workflow topic for the different steps in the workflow process.

Alternatively, they can be used as a loose shopping list – for example, instead of sending a printed PO to Home Depot, you could print a PO for an employee, have that employee shop for the items himself and, when he returns, add the bought items to ServiceCEO by receiving the PO.

Regardless of how you use it, you can view, access, and create Purchase Orders on the Purchase Orders tab.
