In my experience, we used POs for spend up to the five-digit level, moved to formal contracts once we hit the high five-figure range, and looped in Legal at six figures (or sooner for new vendors or IP/data-heavy agreements).
As far as legal review is concerned, we require review above $100K. Below $100K we can use legal endorsed templated agreements. With regards to purchase orders, we can use those for one-off purchases. If it is repeat spend, we required order forms or agreements. The spend threshold is commodity and case dependent.
