# Master data tables for Purchase Order Management

The primary data tables for Purchase Order Management store important information about purchase order exceptions, exception tasks, priority, split lines, purchase order confirmation, and confirmation lines.

-   **[Purchase Order Exception](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/purchase-order-exception-table.md)**  
Purchase order exceptions arise when a supplier cannot fulfill the agreed terms of a purchase order. Common causes include changes to delivery quantity or date, or a complete inability to fulfill the order. Operational buyers use the Purchase Order Management application to manage and resolve these exceptions.
-   **[Purchase Order Exception Task table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/po-exception-task-table.md)**  
Purchase order exception tasks are individual tasks assigned to users as part of resolving a purchase order exception.
-   **[Purchase Order Exception Split Line Table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/po-exception-split-line-table.md)**  
A purchase order exception split line is a subdivided line item created when a line item requires delivery in phases. A split line is created when a supplier selects the **Delivery plan change** exception type and the **Phased delivery** subtype.
-   **[Purchase Order Confirmation table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/po-confirmation-table.md)**  
Purchase order confirmations are supplier-generated transactions that acknowledge a buyer's order and communicate the supplier's ability to fulfill it as specified.
-   **[Purchase Order Confirmation Line table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/po-confirmation-line-table.md)**  
A purchase order \(PO\) confirmation line is a supplier's line-level response acknowledging whether a purchase order line can be delivered under the requested terms.
