Frequently Asked Questions

There are many types of construction documentation that have similarities. What makes a purchase order (PO) similar to a contract is the workflow. When a PO has been submitted and accepted, it becomes a legally binding document.

Invoices are documents that suppliers send to buyers, where they summarize the products (equipment or inventory) that they have purchased or have agreed to purchase. Invoices will usually reference a purchase number, if there is one, to assist with record-keeping and avoid confusion. These two types of construction documents supplement each other but they serve different purposes.
