Purchase Order Request, DD Form 1155 (4-29) is used for what purpose?

• A. Purchase Order Request
• B. Delivery Receipt
• C. Contract Amendment
• D. Receiving Report

Answer: (A)

The form is used to issue a formal purchase order to a vendor, initiating procurement. It records all essential details needed to place the order—vendor information, item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, delivery dates, and terms—and assigns the official purchase order number. While the same form can also serve as a Receiving Report when goods are delivered, its primary purpose in this context is to create and document the purchase request so the vendor can fulfill the order. The other options refer to later stages or different documents: a Delivery Receipt is evidence of shipment, a Contract Amendment changes an existing contract, and a Receiving Report alone documents receipt without initiating the purchase.
