# Create a Purchase Order

### How to Create a Purchase Order in Muhasib ERP

### Overview

This guide will help you create an approved order that states what the company expects a supplier to deliver.

Muhasib records an outstanding order available for receipt or conversion; financial posting is not assumed.

### Who can do this

You need access to Purchase Order plus supplier, item, tax, location, price, and approval.

### Before you start

Confirm supplier quotation, items, quantities, prices, taxes, delivery location/date, payment terms, and approval.

Back Office → Purchases &amp; Suppliers → Purchase Order.

### Create a Purchase Order

#### Step 1: Start a new purchase order and select the supplier

#### Step 2: Enter order date, expected date, reference, terms, and delivery location

Reopen the order and confirm approval/status, supplier, lines, remaining quantities, totals, and delivery terms.

- Do not record an invoice as an order after goods are already received unless policy requires it.
- Search for the order before retrying.
