# purchaseOrder

query · in the family [Purchase order](/reference/purchase-order/)

## What it does

Look up one record — a purchase order — what you are buying from a supplier.

A PurchaseOrder by id, within the caller's OWN org-group family; requires authentication. A cross-tenant id reads as null (not-found) AND trips the rootId tripwire server-side.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Reading your records** — Looking up and listing the records of your organization.

- Owner
- System Administrator
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Warehouse Associate
- Sales Associate
- An API key whose scope allows `api:purchaseOrder`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The id of the record. |

## Returns

[PurchaseOrder](/types/PurchaseOrder/) — A purchase order: an org orders variants x quantities x receiving LFs from ONE enabled vendor (the OrgVendor enablement — IMMUTABLE at birth). Lines live in their OWN rows since and stay draft-editable wholesale (max 1000 — the NAMED assignment ceiling, raised from 48 with the rows; at most 90 line actions per CALL, so a big order grows through addPurchaseOrderLines; the same variant to N LFs = N lines,889); currency is the OrgVendor purchasingCurrency SNAPSHOT (every Money on the family matches it — NO FX, lean 5); received/closed_short are IMMUTABLE non-doomed history; cancelled is the ONE doomed terminal (lists filter it). Re-running the same verb RESUMES a stalled walk; on a healthy in-flight order it refuses CONFLICT/IN_PROGRESS naming the progress.
