Create a numbered purchase order with vendor, ship-to, line items, tax and shipping, then download it as a PDF to send to your supplier.
A purchase order is the buyer's written authorisation to buy: what, how many, at what price, delivered where and when. Once the supplier accepts it, it sets the terms of the order. This generator creates a numbered PO PDF with totals that calculate themselves.
Using purchase orders well
Give every PO a unique number and ask suppliers to quote it on their invoice. Before paying, match the invoice to the PO and to what was actually delivered — the three-way match that catches overbilling and short deliveries.
Frequently asked questions
Is a purchase order the same as an invoice?
No. The buyer sends a purchase order to place an order; the seller sends an invoice to request payment.
