What is a purchase order form?

You’ll need to use a purchase order (PO) when you want to buy goods or services from a seller. The PO confirms all the details of the purchase, including the product or service you’re buying, the quantity, price, delivery date and payment terms.

As the buyer, you create your purchase order, including any special requests or conditions, and send it to the seller. If they agree to the terms of the PO, they can then decide to accept the purchase by signing the order. Once signed, the purchase order becomes legally binding.

Whenever you create a purchase order, you’ll give it a unique PO number. This number can be used to track the order and payment, and is often included on the invoice issued by the seller after the delivery of goods.

Both business owners and suppliers use purchase orders as an official record of purchases they agree to. You can think of it as a contractual agreement you’re entering into with a seller - which can be used as proof of the order you made if there’s any problem down the line.
