Regular purchase order

Regular is the most common type of purchase order (PO). This PO represents an authorization to your vendor to deliver the specified quantity of merchandise and to submit an invoice based on the prices and terms agreed upon. The issuance of a purchase order does not affect General Ledger balances until the goods are received. The Product Maintain Balance Entry On Order balance is increased for the line items entered for stocked products in Purchase Order Entry. Nonstock, catalog, and not for resale products can all be entered on regular purchase orders.
