We can track a PO by tracking the events such as PO release, Acknowledgement from vendor, Goods Receipt and the payment clearing with the help of baseline, plan and actual date.

The variance is always calculated by comparing the planned and actual date, in the absence of planned date we may consider baseline date.

Baseline date is used to compare against the progress of our tasks and plan date is determine from the baseline date.
