CU Marketplace How-to: PO Status [1]
Purchase orders (POs) are documents sent from a buyer (CU) to a supplier with a request for products or services as an order. Each PO is assigned a specific reference number for tracking the purchase order throughout the system. The PO details goods/services being purchased, the quantity, and agreed upon price.
A PO may be viewed in CU Marketplace (primarily the Summary tab) to see its status and line details, as well as related invoices, payment information, and receipts.
