An SAP Purchase Order is a term given to the official confirmation of an order. The purchase order (PO) is a document that is sent from a buyer to the seller to request items or services at the agreed upon price. In the document, the buyer specifies the details of what they want in their order (e.g., item, quantity, delivery time, etc.)
The difference between an SAP purchase order and an invoice is that the purchase order confirms that the order has been placed, and an invoice is used to request payment for an order.
An SAP purchase order is comprised of two main parts—the document header and document items.
Conditions in the purchase order can apply at various levels:
The account assignment can be used to apportion the costs among various controlling objects.
Confirmations can be issued by vendors to the relevant purchasing organization, to confirm compliance or non-compliance with scheduled delivery dates.
A purchase order’s transactions are documented in the PO history on an item-specific basis.
Other business partners can appear in various partner roles, instead of the vendor, as the order recipient.
Every item is destined for a specific company plant location and every plant has a specific company code. The company code indicates where the vendor’s invoice should be sent.
