DO (Delivery order)

A Delivery Order (DO) is a legal document issued by a buyer, either in the public or private sector, to confirm an order that has been placed with a supplier. A DO is typically used to order new goods, services or materials and defines the quantity, price and payment terms of items being purchased. It serves as a legally binding agreement between all parties involved in the transaction and highlights the obligations of both purchaser and supplier. A DO also assists in ensuring operational compliance and accuracy when procuring goods and services.
