Purchase orders (POs) are formal documents issued to suppliers authorizing the purchase of goods or services. Relyant tracks POs from creation through approval, delivery, and goods receipt.

Purchase order lifecycle

  1. Create — a PO is created (directly or converted from a purchase request)
  2. Send to supplier — the PO is issued to the supplier
  3. Receive goods — items arrive and are logged in a goods receipt
  4. Close — the PO is closed once all items are received
