Today's Lesson
PURCHASE ORDER / WORK ORDER   注文書／作業注文書

Explanation

  • A purchase order is a formal written request for goods or services, showing that a company agrees to buy a specific number of items at a specific price.

    A work order is a similar request for work (e.g., installations, repairs, or renovations) to be done.
  • purchase order は、商品やサービスに対する正式な書面による依頼で、企業が一定の数の商品を、特定の価格で購入することに同意する旨を示したもの、つまり、注文書のことです。

    work order は、据え付けや修理、修繕などの作業の実施に対する、同様の依頼のことです。
