About this tool

Enter the PO number and dates, your details, the supplier and where to ship, then the lines with SKU, description, quantity and unit price, plus tax and shipping. The order previews live, prints or saves as PDF with a signature line, and β€˜Next PO’ increments the number. Drafts stay in this browser.

Why small businesses should issue POs

A purchase order is the buyer's written instruction to a supplier: what, how many, at what price, delivered where and by when, on what terms. Its practical value is the number β€” the supplier quotes it on the delivery note and the invoice, and matching the three (order, delivery, invoice) is how accounts catch short deliveries and overcharges without an argument. Businesses that start issuing POs at a few thousand a month in purchases stop losing money to β€˜I thought we said’. Keep terms short and specific (payment days, delivery expectations, the PO number on the invoice), number sequentially, and send it as a PDF. Honest notes: a PO is generally an offer that becomes a contract when the supplier accepts, so check it before sending; the tool is a document generator, not an approvals workflow or a stock system. Nothing is uploaded. The quotation generator is the supplier's document before a PO, the invoice generator the one after, the expense report generator covers purchases made by staff, and the CSV merger combines exported order lists.

Frequently asked questions

Is a purchase order a contract?

Usually it becomes one when the supplier accepts it (by confirming or shipping). Terms on the PO matter for that reason.

What should the terms say?

Payment terms (e.g. net 30), the requirement to quote the PO number on invoices and delivery notes, and any delivery or quality conditions. Keep it short.

Can I send it to the supplier from here?

Save it as a PDF through the print dialog and attach it to your email. The tool sends nothing itself.

Where are my POs stored?

The current draft and the next number are kept in this browser only. Save each PDF as your record.
