Purchase order format

A purchase order is what you send a supplier to confirm what you are buying, at what price and when.

When to use it

  • Before a supplier dispatches goods or starts a job.
  • To fix a price agreed on the phone.
  • For any purchase your accountant needs to match against the supplier's bill.

What it must show

  • PO number and date
  • Your business name, address and GSTIN (as the buyer)
  • Vendor name and address
  • Items with quantity, rate and GST
  • Delivery date and address
  • Payment terms
  • Signature

Good to know

  • Ask the supplier to quote the PO number on their invoice.
  • Check the supplier's GSTIN before you pay, so you can claim input tax credit.
