Purchase Order PO is a Open Purchase Order. It is the first of three stages of a Purchase Order. Second is Receiving. Third is an Invoice. PO's appear on the Models Requested Screen, but Receivings do not.
Receiving Receiving is the Second Stage of a Purchase Order. It is a Closed Purchase Order, in other words this is the stage of a Purchase Order that the Order has been placed with the Manufacturer but has not been Received yet. When the Product is received the Receiving becomes an Invoice.
