A purchase order is created when you need to buy items for your business. It is a financial document issued to the vendor. It predominantly contains the product details, quantity and the price agreed for the product.

For example, you run a furniture business and you need a special wood to make a particular model. Currently, you do not have the wood in your stock, at this instance you raise a purchase order to your vendor who supplies you with the special wood.
