Distinguish Purchase Order (PO) from other documents<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchase Order (PO) is an important document in procurement and supply chain management, but is often confused with related documents such as invoices, sales orders or purchase contracts. Below are the basic differences to help businesses clearly identify the role of each type of document:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PO (Purchase Order) and <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/bizzi.vn\/hoa-don-la-gi-quy-dinh-xuat-hoa-don-tai-viet-nam\/\"><b>Bill<\/b><\/a><b> (Invoice)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: PO is issued by the buyer to initiate the purchasing process and propose the terms of sale, while invoice is a request for payment issued by the seller after the goods or services have been delivered. PO serves as confirmation of the purchase demand, while invoice is the basis for payment. The invoice should reference the PO number to ensure consistency between the agreement and the actual delivery.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PO and Sales Order<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: PO is a document issued by the buyer to demonstrate the commitment to purchase, legally binding to the seller. In contrast, Sales Order is an internal document created by the seller after receiving PO to track and execute the order, not sent to the customer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PO, Proforma Invoice (PI) and Sales Contract (SC)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: PO is a purchase offer from the buyer, which is usually not highly legal if not accompanied by a contract. PI is a detailed quotation from the seller, showing the basic terms of the transaction and can be used as a basis for opening an LC (letter of credit). Meanwhile, SC is the official sales contract, the strongest legal binding, fully stipulating the rights and obligations of both parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Although a purchase order may be considered evidence of purchase, in legal practice a PO cannot replace a sales contract. Relying solely on a PO without a clear contract can create difficulties in resolving disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Quy_trinh_su_dung_va_quan_ly_Don_dat_hang_PO_hieu_qua\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.
