Standard Purchase

Process Description:A purchase order is a legal document used to record an individual purchase (negotiated terms, conditions and pricing) with the vendor or arrange for a delivery based on prior agreement. It also provides the vendor with a reference document to link to shipping (goods receipt) and invoicing (invoice verification) processes. The purchase order is a commitment to a vendor for a given material, in a specified quantity at a predetermined price and delivery date. Purchase orders can be created for materials that have a material master or for materials that do not have a material master. The purchase order can be printed out (User Guide MM 5.1) and posted or faxed to the vendor.
