Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a PO and a PR number?
A PR (format PRXXXXX) is a Purchase Requisition – this number is assigned for the time of the requisition being processed internally in our system before it is fully approved and a PO (format POXXXXX) is generated and sent automatically to the supplier. As a supplier you should only use the PO number reference on all your invoices and communication with Smith+Nephew.
