The Purchase Order Approval process involves key stakeholders within a company reviewing and either authorising or rejecting business purchases before they are submitted to a vendor.
The company’s purchase order policy outlines who is responsible for approving a purchase. This typically depends on factors such as the type of items being bought, the department involved, and the total cost of the purchase. In many organisations, purchase orders (POs) must undergo an internal approval process before being sent to the vendor. This typically involves multiple reviewers examining the PO and providing their authorisation.
Businesses designate employees across different departments to review and approve purchase orders. Depending on their role, these approvers may focus on budget and necessity or ensure the accuracy of the purchase order details. Budget approvers are typically department managers or project managers responsible for creating and overseeing budgets. Their role is to confirm that funds are available for the purchase order and that the purchase is necessary for the team.
The procurement team is also authorised to ensure the vendor offers competitive pricing and quality compared to other options. They also review the budget to confirm sufficient funds are available and carefully assess the payment terms and pricing details.
