A purchase order is a document you send a supplier to formally order goods or services at an agreed price. It sounds like paperwork, but it is really a form of protection. Once a supplier accepts your PO, the price and quantity are on record, so you are covered if the invoice that comes back is higher than what you agreed.
For anyone managing spend, purchase orders also create control. They give you a paper trail of what was ordered, by whom, and for how much, which makes budgets easier to keep and audits far less painful. The PO number is the thread that connects your order to the delivery note and the final invoice.
In a tidy purchasing process, three documents should agree: the purchase order you sent, the delivery note that arrives with the goods, and the invoice that asks for payment. This is often called three-way matching, and it is how businesses catch overcharges and short deliveries before they pay for them.
Remit makes this practical for a small operation. Raise the PO here, and when you receive goods you can issue a delivery note and later add the supplier's PO reference to your records, so every document points back to the same order.
