What it is
The documents that run the buying side of a business: purchase orders in Word and Excel, purchase order letters that confirm terms and delivery dates, a letter of intent for equipment purchases, a checklist for buying used vehicles, and an accounts payable policy that sets how invoices are approved and paid.
When you need one
Use them when you place an order with a supplier, need written confirmation of price and delivery before goods ship, or want one consistent rule for who approves spending and when suppliers get paid.
