ma’am this is a general question. why are copies of purchase orders sent to accounts department? when all that the accounts department is concerned with is-the GRN! their objective is to match the GRNs and purchase invoices before paying to the supplier, no need for purchase orders? So then why send a copy to it?
Not all “purchases” are for “goods” i.e. things for sale that would be recorded on a GRN – so accounts will need to know when invoices for services are received that they were ordered.
