What should a purchase order include?
A purchase order is issued by the buyer, not the seller — it's a formal request to purchase specific goods or services at agreed prices. Include a PO number, the items and quantities you're ordering, agreed unit prices, and a requested delivery date. The supplier will typically reference your PO number on their invoice.
What happens after I send a purchase order?
The supplier reviews and confirms it (sometimes with a formal acknowledgement), fulfills the order, and then sends an invoice referencing your PO number for payment.
Is a purchase order the same as an invoice?
No — a PO is created by the buyer to request goods; an invoice is created by the seller to request payment, usually after the PO has been fulfilled.
