A Purchase Order captures vendor details, line items, quantities, agreed prices, and delivery terms, and is linked to vendor records in the CRM.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>What is the Purchase Orders Module in Zoho CRM?<\/h2>\n<p>The Purchase Orders (PO) Module is part of the procurement side of Zoho CRM&#8217;s sales-order management. A Purchase Order is generated when the sales team needs to procure goods from a <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/vendors-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Vendor<\/a> to fulfil a customer order. It creates a paper trail that links vendor procurement to customer sales.<\/p>\n<p>POs in Zoho CRM move through statuses: Draft, Delivered, Cancelled. Each PO can be associated with a <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/contact-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Contact<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/account-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Account<\/a> on the vendor side and linked to Sales Orders on the customer side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Distribution:<\/strong> A building materials distributor receives a Sales Order from a contractor. To fulfil it, the sales team raises a Purchase Order to a cement manufacturer. The PO is linked to the Sales Order in CRM, so the manager can see the buy and sell side of the transaction in one view.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sales-orders-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Sales Orders Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/vendors-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Vendors Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/products-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Products Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/invoices-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Invoices Module (CRM)<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Purchase Orders Module in Zoho CRM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Purchase Orders Module in Zoho CRM records formal orders sent to vendors for goods or services.
