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?
And sales order is where suppliers issue them for request for goods?
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).
Oh thanks 🙂 but can u also explain Goods received note? I’m not a good reader
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 🙂
