What is a purchase order?

A purchase order is a document sent by a buyer to a supplier to confirm the goods or services they want to buy. It usually sets out the items, quantities, prices, delivery details, terms and total expected cost.

When should you use one?

Use a purchase order when you want a clear record of what your business is ordering before the supplier sends an invoice. It can help avoid confusion around quantities, prices, delivery dates and payment terms.

What should a purchase order include?

Your business name and contact details.
The supplier name and contact details.
A clear purchase order number and date.
The required delivery or completion date.
The goods or services being ordered.
Quantities, prices, tax, discounts and total amount.
Delivery instructions, payment terms or references.

Purchase order mistakes to avoid

Leaving out supplier details.
Using vague item descriptions.
Not confirming quantities and prices.
Forgetting delivery instructions or required dates.
Confusing a purchase order with an invoice or receipt.

A purchase order helps document what your business intends to buy. It is not the same as an invoice, receipt or proof of payment.
