A Purchase Order (PO), also known as an Order Type, is a legal agreement between Walmart and a supplier for the purchase of products or services. A PO outlines the specific quantity, price, and date that a supplier promises to fulfill. By accepting a PO, the supplier is responsible for adhering to the details of the PO as well as complying with OTIF (on-time and in full) and all other standards outlined in the supplier agreement.
