  Purchase Orders (POs) are documents used to request goods or services from a vendor. They are created in SAP and contain information such as the item description, quantity, price, and delivery date. The PO is then sent to the vendor for processing. Once the vendor has accepted the PO, they will send an invoice to the buyer for payment.

  In SAP, Purchase Orders can be created in the Materials Management (MM) module. The user will need to enter the necessary information such as the item description, quantity, price, and delivery date. Once all of the information is entered, the PO can be sent to the vendor for processing. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Purchase Order in SAP, it is important to double-check all of the information before sending it to the vendor. This will help ensure that there are no errors or discrepancies that could cause delays in processing or payment.
