User Note: Where the Purchase Order requests for a confirmation of receipt, the Acknowledgement Letter should be done as a matter of course. Where no acknowledgement is requested, the Acknowledgement Letter should still be done as a good business practice. Apart from good record keeping, it will also encourage personnel to identify potential problems at an early stage.
On receipt of any Purchase Order, the User should carefully check that the requirements of the Buyer can be met, particularly the quantity and the delivery date. In the case of physical products, the adequacy of inventory should be checked. If inventory levels are adequate, a hold should be placed on the number of units required to fulfill the Purchase Order. If there is inadequate inventory, the restocking time should be verified to ensure that the required delivery time can be met, and an order placed.
Any issues raised by the Purchase Order should be identified as soon as possible and immediately brought to the attention of the Buyer. The earlier such issues are resolved, the more likely it is that the required delivery schedule can be met, resulting in a happy customer.
The User Note is intended for guidance only and does not in any way constitute legal advice and Users should treat it accordingly.
