Purchase Order

Updated 31 October 2026

A Purchase Order records what you have agreed to buy from a supplier before their invoice arrives. It has no effect on your accounts: it creates no ledger entries and can’t be posted. When the supplier bills you, you convert the order into a Purchase Invoice, which copies the supplier, dates and lines across.
