Topic overview
The commissioning of a supplier to deliver required tangible and intangible goods is reflected in purchase orders. A purchase order describes the exact scope of the order. Purchase order documents can be issued and sent to transmit the content of a purchase order to the supplier. For changes to a purchase order and a purchase order document, special purchase order change documents can be issued to inform the supplier of the changed order line items.
This article describes the procedures for using the Purchase order documents query application. The procedures contain instruction steps, e.g. how to issue a purchase order document. You will also be informed about possible preconditions and effects.
The description of the Purchase order documents query application, which also includes field and button descriptions, can be found in the Purchase order documents query article.
