Background
Companies use purchase orders for several reasons:
- Purchase orders allow buyers to clearly and explicitly communicate their intentions to sellers
- Sellers are protected in case of a buyer's refusal to pay for goods or services
- Purchase orders help a purchasing agent to manage incoming orders and pending orders
- Purchase orders provide economies in that they streamline the purchasing process to a standard procedure
- Commercial lenders or financial institutions may provide financial assistance on the basis of purchase orders. There are various trade finance facilities that almost every financial institution allows to businesspeople against purchase orders such as:
- Before Shipment credit facility
- Post Shipment credit facility
- Trade Finance facility
- Foreign Bill Purchase credit facility

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
