Important notes:

 Production order is a record created by Purchasing for every potential purchase order or request for quotation to possible suppliers as initial step in processing Purchase request of operations. Production order can have many records with same items to different suppliers, this is for monitoring of sent requests, and to update which of them are approved or cancelled.
 
 The difference between Purchasing order and Production order is the nature of material transfer. In production order there is a requirement to supply at least one raw material to supplier to produce the final product (item to supply is shown as sub item of the final product).
