What is a Purchase Order Workflow?
A purchase order (PO) workflow is a defined process that governs the creation, approval, and fulfillment of purchase orders within an organization. It outlines the steps and procedures that need to be followed to initiate, review, approve, and process purchase orders to ensure compliance with company policies, budget constraints, and regulatory requirements. The goal of a PO workflow is to streamline and standardize the purchasing process, improve efficiency, and enhance control over procurement activities.
Within NetSuite, purchase order workflows can be created in a native SuiteApp like ZoneApprovals, which allows finance and accounting teams to build, manage, and edit simple to complex approval workflows in NetSuite ERP.
