*General PO:*

Here, PO will be created with respect to PR. But, this PR
will be created by MM people based on stock irrespective to the customer.
That means, the qty will be according to business estimation.

*Individual PO:*
Here also PO will be created with respect to PR
only, But, qty according to the sales order.
*Eg:*
Lets say Company has 1000 customers, namely C1, C2, C3, C4, C5,
- -- - - , C1000. Company generally places PO to vendor for
material - M1 irrespective to the sales order from an individual customer.
But there is another material - M2 (3rd party material), PO will be
generated for a particular sales order from an individual customer (C5).
Hence the name.

Guess, my explanation is clear, Let me know further.

Hi JAI,
Many thanks for your post! I have marked it as helpful.
a. Why is it called Individual PO? (individual)
As this PO is placed with respect to an individual customer this is
called as Individual PO rather than a regular PO.

"Individual" - every sales order is created for a customer. From the schedule lines, purchase requisitions are created automatically. In turn from purchase requisitions, the purchase orders are created. Thus POs are created for a customer.

But then why is it called (in my opinion double/ two times) Individual?
Please explain with example, also compare standard PO vs Individual PO.

Maybe I am not understanding something apparent :)
