Talk:Purchase order/Archives/2015

Lots of types!

There are a number of different types (or flavors) of purchase orders. For example, blanket order, standing order, open order, etc. It would be worthy to describe these here. Also, a discussion of the difference between Order, Purchase Order, and Sales Order, would also be worthwhile.--BrianSHayes 21:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

In this example, it is a female subordinate with no authority or, apparently, good sense that makes the purchase. I can't help but feel this is sexist. It could simply have been Person X as was done with the companies. 132.207.196.72 20:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC) (This comment was used to rewrite the article to make it gender non-specific.) Again, the name Lisa has slipped into the text. I still think this is improper. I understand that subordinate X was not very elegant, but what about Alex; could be an incompetent female or an incompetent male. I was listening to a journalist this morning predicting wikipedia's demise because edits are quickly reverted. Again, now the name is Alice. Whoever is making the changes, show your face and discuss. I will compare credentials with you anytime.

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. - Peripitus (Talk) 07:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
