Heyyy how can I join your group
Thank you mam, was confusing in PR and PO
PR stands for Purchase Requistion, it is a internal document use within the company or dept, E.g, using P/R to request to purchase 10 item, but maybe 8 item is approved by your department head. then this 8 item will then follow up with Purchase Order to Supplier.
Purchase Order (PO) is a commercial document issued to a third party.
