Purchase Order vs RFQ
An RFQ is used before supplier selection to request prices from different suppliers. It helps buyers collect supplier quotations before deciding which supplier should receive the order.
A purchase order is used after supplier selection to confirm the official order, approved quantity, price, delivery terms and payment terms.
A good procurement process usually starts with an RFQ, then supplier quotation comparison, then purchase order approval.
