What is a purchase order?

The purchase order (PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer to a supplier to formalize a purchasing request. It specifies the nature, quantity, price, and delivery terms of the goods or services ordered. In Algeria, this document is an essential supporting record for accounting and tax audits.
