Your Benefits
A Purchase Order Form Tailored to Your Procurement Processes
Consistent Presentation
A clean A4 layout ensures professionally presented purchase orders and other purchasing documents.

In the Business Process
From SAP® Purchasing Document to Purchase Order Form
The purchase order is created in SAP® Materials Management (MM). Relevant header and item data are passed to Adobe Forms through the print program and form interface, producing a PDF-based document. Learn more on our page about SAP® Form Development with Adobe Forms.
