After-The-Fact Purchase Order

After-The-Fact Purchase Order

An after-the-fact purchase order (PO) is a document that is created after goods or services have been procured. The PO typically includes the name and contact information of the supplier, a description of the goods or services, the quantity of goods or services purchased, the price paid for each unit, the total amount paid, and the date of purchase.

The after-the-fact PO is used to record and track procurement expenditures. It can also be used to generate invoices and payment requests. In some cases, an after-the-fact PO may be required by law or regulation. For example, government agencies may require after-the-fact POs for all procurement transactions.
