In Wrapbook, production accountants and administrators can manage POs using either Payables or the Production Accounting Suite.

A purchase order (PO) is a document created by a buyer that represents a commitment to purchase goods or services from a vendor.

In Wrapbook, POs serve two key functions:

  1. Acts as an agreement between production and the vendor, stating the agreed-upon amount before an invoice or payment is submitted

  2. Communicates the cost to the system, acting as a holding area to track money that has been committed but not yet spent
