FAQ

In logistics, a confirmation order is a vital record that formalizes the terms and conditions of a transaction. It ensures both parties—buyer and seller—have a mutual understanding of obligations and expectations, thereby preventing disputes and streamlining the fulfillment process
A confirmation order should detail: -The buyer and seller's contact information -Product or service description -Price and any discounts or promotions -Quantity of items -Delivery schedule and milestones -Payment terms and conditions, including credit terms or schedules -Warranties or guarantees provided -Return, exchange, or refund policies
A purchase order is a document issued by a buyer to a seller, requesting the purchase of specific products or services and outlining the terms and conditions of the transaction. A confirmation order, on the other hand, is a document issued by the seller in response to a purchase order, acknowledging and accepting the buyer's request and confirming the agreed-upon terms and conditions of the transaction.

Example or usage in road freight logistics:

When a retailer orders a shipment of goods, they issue a purchase order to the supplier, indicating quantities, delivery, and payment terms. The supplier then issues a confirmation order back to the retailer, providing a documented agreement that ensures clarity on the delivery and responsibilities, aiding in efficient and timely distribution
