# Purchase Orders | Overview

### What is a Purchase Order

Purchase orders are the internal way that SpyderFlow tracks the approved spend for each work order.

- To enable an organisation to allocate, track and review the spend across properties and subcontractors or employees.
- View the cost of work undertaken against properties and subcontractors.,
- Review the cost against specific work.

 

**Purchase Orders are created by SpyderFlow with the creation of Work Order items.**

- They are not created directly in any other way other than as part of the process flow of allocating, reviewing and approving work order items.

 

**Purchase Orders can then be viewed in list format at: Main Menu --> Purchase Orders or inside associated Work Orders.**
