Purchase order generator

A purchase order is the buyer's written, numbered order to a supplier: what to send, how many, at what price, where to deliver and by when. Once the vendor accepts it, it is the agreement their invoice will be checked against - which is why finance teams refuse invoices without a PO number. This generator builds a PO in your browser with the vendor and a separate ship-to address, SKU, unit and quantity lines with discount and tax, expected delivery, buyer and cost centre, payment terms, shipping method, Incoterms for international orders, and an approval signature. Everything stays on your device; the vendor gets a clean PDF by email or WhatsApp.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your company as the buyerName, address, contact and tax ID - or load your saved details.
  2. Choose the vendorType it or pick it from your client and vendor book.
  3. Set the deliveryShip-to address, expected delivery date, shipping method and, for imports, the Incoterm.
  4. List what you are buyingSKU, description, unit, quantity, agreed price, discount and tax.
  5. Add buyer, cost centre and termsWho requested it, which budget it hits, the vendor quote number and payment terms.
  6. Approve and sendAdd the approver's name or signature image, then download, print or send the PDF.

Purchase order vs sales order

A purchase order is written by the buyer; a sales order is the seller's confirmation of it. If you are the one selling, you want the Sales Order Generator instead - it has a field for your customer's PO number.

Key features

  • Free, with no sign-up and no watermark on the PDF.
  • Runs in your browser - customer names, prices and addresses are never uploaded.
  • The preview is the real A4 or Letter page, so the PDF, PNG and print match it exactly.
  • 12 templates with several colour themes each, built on the same engine as the Invoice Generator.
  • Uses the same client book as the Invoice and Quotation Generators on this browser.
  • Drafts save themselves; history, duplicate and auto-numbering are built in.
  • All eleven Incoterms 2020 rules, a cost centre field and an approval signature built in.

Common uses

  • Small businesses ordering stock or supplies with an approval step.
  • Restaurants and shops placing regular orders with the same vendors.
  • Importers who need an Incoterm on every order.
  • Project teams buying against a cost centre or job budget.

Tips for better results

  • Number every PO and ask vendors to quote it on their invoice and delivery note.
  • Agree the price before sending the PO; the PO should match the vendor's quote, which has its own field here.
  • For international orders, state the Incoterm - it decides who pays freight and insurance and where the risk passes.
  • Record partial deliveries by updating the status to Partially received rather than writing a new PO.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Ordering by email with no PO, then having nothing to check the vendor's invoice against.
  • Leaving out the delivery date, so a late delivery cannot be refused.
  • Using the wrong Incoterm and finding the freight bill is yours.
