Why it exists and what it decides

Purchase orders are the evidence that the product has turned into revenue. They trigger supply chain activity and are the basis for revenue reporting. Without them, the first revenue gate has no firm proof, supply cannot be committed and investors cannot see real demand.

How much wafer and packaging capacity to commit
Whether the first revenue gate is passed
