[Supplier Transactions](https://support.palletconnect.com/knowledge-base/vendors-and-suppliers?hsLang=en#supplier-transactions) # Create a new Completed Purchase Order 1\. A Purchase Order is intended to order new supplies only.  Supplies are typically items needed to build the pallets, for example, lumber.  For the purchase of recycled pallets, refer to Vendor transactions, A Completed Purchase Order is used for supplies that have already been ordered **and received**. For example, a phone order for lumber that has arrived at the warehouse with paper receipt, that needs to be inputted.   This is an important transaction, as the price of the supplies received will directly affect the cost price of the finished product.   2\.
