purchase order
Official buying request
A purchase order is a formal document issued by a buyer to a seller, specifying items to be purchased along with quantities, prices, and delivery terms.
It serves as a legally binding offer once accepted.
Businesses use purchase orders to track spending and maintain records: We can't process the shipment without a purchase order number.
