What file formats should I use?

Use PDF for final signed POs to preserve layout and signatures; keep editable DOCX copies for internal templates and updates.

Can a PO be signed electronically?

Yes, electronic signatures meet ESIGN and UETA legal requirements when intent, consent, attribution, and retention are demonstrable; stronger authentication may be required for some regulated procurements.

Does a PO need notarization?

Typical POs do not require notarization. Notarization is only necessary when state law or a contracting party specifically requires notarized attestations or related affidavits.

What happens if supplier details are wrong?

Incorrect remit-to or tax IDs can delay payment and trigger backup withholding; correct data before issuing the PO to avoid AP exceptions.

How should I store signed POs?

Store signed POs in your procurement system and a secure backup; retain documents per tax and industry retention requirements noted in the retention timeline section.

Who can approve a PO?

Approval authority should follow internal delegation of authority policies and be reflected in the workflow so only authorized signers can issue purchase orders.
