What is an SAP Purchase Order?
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.).
