Definition:-  

Purchase order is an agreement between the vendor and a company to supply the goods at an agreed rate and at an agreed duration of interval.  

Purchase order is a legal document between a vendor and a company. It covers the payment terms and terms of delivery also.  

Scheduling agreement is one of the purchase order types. It defines the agreement between vendor and the company similar to the PO. For every scheduling agreement, delivery schedule is a must to indicate the supply schedule.
