    Sir what is the difference of quotation and purchase order? Both seems the same?

    If you are thinking of buying something, you might first ask the supplier for the price – when they tell you what the price will be they are giving you a quotation.

    If you decide to buy and send the supplier a document listing what you want to buy, then this is a purchase order.

    Have you read Chapter 28 of our free lecture notes?

    Why will suppliers be requesting goods??

    If we are buying goods then we send the supplier a purchase order.

    If a customer (for example) rings up wanting us to sell them some goods, then we will complete a sales order (and send it to our department that sends goods to customers).

    I can’t keep typing out what is in the lecture notes – I don’t understand what difference it makes reading it here or reading it in the lecture notes 🙂
