Purchase Orders (POs) help finance teams control spend before money leaves the account, without introducing heavy procurement systems or complex workflows.
A Purchase Order records an approved commitment to spend with a supplier. It gives finance visibility into upcoming costs and ensures spend is reviewed and approved before payment is made.
