Document background
The Purchase Order Request Form is a critical document used in Canadian business operations to initiate and control procurement activities. It serves as the primary tool for employees to request purchases of goods or services, ensuring proper authorization and compliance with organizational policies and Canadian procurement regulations. This document is essential for maintaining financial control, tracking departmental spending, and creating an audit trail for all purchase requests. The form typically precedes the creation of an actual Purchase Order and must comply with provincial and federal requirements for commercial transactions, including GST/HST considerations and documentation requirements. It is particularly important for organizations that need to maintain strict procurement controls, ensure budget compliance, and demonstrate transparent purchasing practices.
