Automated Purchase Order
What is an Automated Purchase Order?
An automated purchase order, or PO, is an electronic document generated by a software system using data from your company's ERP system. The main purpose of an automated PO is to streamline and automate the purchase order creation process and PO approvals.
How Are Automated Purchase Orders Created?
Automated purchase orders are created using data from your company's ERP system. This data includes information on the products or services your company needs to purchase and the supplier's contact information. Once this data is entered into the system, the software will generate a purchase order based on the information entered.
An automated purchase order is a product of using purchase order automation software. This software automates the procurement process by automatically sending a purchase request to the relevant organization staff for review and approval.
If the team member approves the purchase order, the purchase order software automatically creates a PO number in your ERP system. The software also automatically sends the purchase order to the supplier.
