Hi,
I wouldn't like to know I felt I can create a purchase invoice without be creating purchase order? or do we always have to create a PO every time you want to invoice?
Thank you in advance

No, I don't think so. One of my mates working for the top assignment writing services uk tried to do this, and failed. So, I am talking from experience, and you don't want to challenge experience. I am just kidding, do whatever you want.
You are welcome.

Hi, as other users pointed out - theoretically there is no need to have PO for invoice posting, and you can even use journals for petty cash purchases. Different situations commands different approaches:
- To have proper approval system within the company, it is recommended that you always use POs
- If you don't need approvals for every purchase, some of them (services, recurring invoices, etc.) can be directly posted via Purchase Invoice - using G/L Accounts on lines.
- If you don't want to create a vendor as you bought items with cash, you can register it via journals - no vendor ledger created, but ok from finance perspective.
Hope that explains it.

You don't need to link a purchase invoice to a PO.
You can use the Payment Journal (or General Journal) for these types of expenses as well or like Suresh said, you can use the Purchase Invoice. The Purchase Invoice does not need to be linked to a PO. There is no problem with creating a Purchase Invoice without creating a PO.
Thanks suresh for your answer. I think my question I was no to being very descriptive. I understand you can create a purchase invoice but doesn't I think need to be linked to a PO?
The finance department would like to add petty cash items to an invoice rather than creating a PO. Is it good practise to create an invoice for small items without creating a PO?
