# Purchase Order

### Purchase Order <a href="#crm0" id="crm0"></a>

Once you complete the creation of the request for quotation, you can send it to the respective vendor to get their approval. After sending RFQ to the vendor, the next step is the confirmation of the purchase order. In Odoo, you will get a dedicated platform in the **Orders** menu of the Purchase module for the management of the Purchase Orders.

This window is similar to that of the Request for Quotation management window. You will get the details of the Reference, Confirmation Date, Vendor, Company, Buyer, Activities, Source Document, Total, Billing Status, and Expected Arrival date. The **Create** button can help you to create a new purchase order.

If both parties are satisfied with the terms and conditions mentioned in the request for quotation, the RFQ can be converted into a Purchase Order using the **Confirm** button.

The status of the RFQ can be observed as **Purchase Order** once you click on the Confirm button.

In the Purchase Order window, you will get options such as **Receive Products** to manage received products, **Confirm Receipt Date** to confirm the date of the receipt, **Create Bill** to generate vendor bill, and **Cancel** to cancel the purchase order.

In Odoo, it is possible to automatically lock purchase orders to prevent editing. This can be done by activating the **Lock Confirmed Orders** from the **Settings** menu of the module.

#### Receive Products

The vendor will send products to your location mentioned in the purchase order after confirming the order. Odoo will assist you in the procedures of receiving products as well. When the vendor sends the products to your company, you can click on the **Receive Products** button while receiving the products.

In the corresponding fields, you will get the **Scheduled Date, Deadline,** and **Source Document** of the delivery receipt.
