# Purchase Orders

An Apptiflo Purchase Order documents the items or services sold between two Accounts. The Account buying or issuing the Purchase Order (PO) is the Customer, while the Account selling or receiving the Purchase Order (PO) is the Supplier. A corresponding Sales Order is created in the Supplier's Account when a PO is made and approved. A Customer Account's Purchase Order is the same as a Supplier Account's Sales Order. Both Accounts can access the Apptiflo platform to process their documents, save time, and ensure accountability.
