Purchase orders in Excel vs a generator

In Excel you build columns for item, quantity, unit price, and total, add a formula to each row, add tax, sum the order value, and keep the PO number going yourself. It works, but the file needs maintaining and the layout needs fixing whenever an order runs long. Filling in the form here gives you the same result with the arithmetic done for you and a PDF ready to send. For what each field should say, read our guide on how to create a purchase order.

Purchase order template for small businesses

A small business purchase order template needs to be quick to fill in and easy for a supplier to read. Enter your company and logo once and they are saved in your browser, so every later PO only needs the vendor, the items, and the delivery date. Use a sequential PO number so each order can be tracked from request to invoice.

Purchase order for a retail shop or online store

List each product, the quantity you need, and the agreed unit cost. The order value is worked out for you, so you can check it against your stock budget before the PO goes out.

Purchase order for a restaurant, cafe, or catering business

Order ingredients, packaging, and equipment on one PO per supplier. Put the delivery date and the delivery window in the notes so the goods arrive when the kitchen can receive them.

Purchase order for a construction or building company

Order materials and equipment hire for a specific job by putting the site address in the delivery notes and the job reference in the product or service detail. That keeps every order traceable to a project.

Purchase order for office supplies, IT equipment, and software

List each item with its model or part number in the description, the quantity, and the price you agreed. Attach the PDF to your email so the vendor has a clear, written order to work from.

Purchase order for a freelancer or agency hiring a subcontractor

A PO works for services as well as goods. Describe the work, the rate or fixed fee, and the deadline as line items, and the subcontractor has a written order to invoice against.

Local purchase order (LPO) generator

In many countries, especially across Africa and the Middle East, a purchase order is called a local purchase order, or LPO. It is the same document: a buyer's written order to a supplier, with a number, the items, the prices, and the delivery date. Use this tool as an LPO generator by entering your details and the supplier's, listing the items, and downloading the PDF. Our guide to the local purchase order explains how LPOs are used.

Purchase order generator with logo, custom branding, and 13 templates

Upload your logo, crop it, and choose a template that suits your business. Every purchase order template is fully editable, so you can change the look without retyping anything.

Purchase order generator with delivery date and notes

A dedicated delivery date field prints the date you need the goods on the PO, and the notes field carries delivery address, contact person, access hours, or special handling. A supplier who knows exactly when and where to deliver is far less likely to miss the date.

Purchase order generator with VAT, GST, and sales tax

The tax section has a name field and a rate field, so the same PO maker works in any country. Enter VAT, GST, HST, or sales tax with the percentage and the tax is added to the order and shown in the totals. If the purchase is not taxable, leave the rate at zero.

Use the VAT and sales tax calculator if a supplier quotes a tax-inclusive price and you need the tax-exclusive amount for the PO.

Purchase order maker in any currency

Choose from more than 150 currency symbols, including dollars, pounds, euros, rand, naira, shillings, rupees, and dirhams. Ordering from an overseas supplier is a matter of picking the currency you agreed and stating it in the notes. The tool tries to detect your currency on your first visit, and you can change it at any time.

Purchase order generator for South Africa, the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada, and Nigeria

Enter your local currency and the tax that applies where you trade, and add your company or tax registration number. A South African business would use VAT at 15% and the Rand symbol, a UK business VAT at 20% and the pound symbol, an Australian business GST at 10% with its ABN, and a Nigerian business VAT at 7.5% with the naira symbol. A US business enters its state sales tax or leaves the rate at zero. The generator does not assume a country.

Purchase order generator for iPhone, Android, and mobile

You can raise a PO from your phone the moment you agree an order with a supplier. The page adapts to a small screen, the PDF downloads directly, and on devices that support it a share button sends the order to WhatsApp or email in one step. You can add the page to your home screen for quick access, with no app store download.

An easier alternative to a purchase order template in Word or Excel

A purchase order template in Word or Excel means downloading a file, repairing formulas, and adjusting the layout every time. This PO generator replaces it: fill in a form, let the tool calculate the order value, and download a PDF. If you want a purchase order form that is already laid out and ready to fill in, this is the fastest way to get one.

What happens after you send the purchase order

Once the vendor accepts the PO, they deliver and send an invoice quoting your PO number. Check the goods against the delivery note, record what actually arrived with the goods received note generator, then compare the purchase order, the delivery note, and the vendor's invoice before paying. If you are still comparing prices, a quotation from the supplier comes first, and our guide to purchase order vs quotation explains the order of the paperwork. For the whole process from order to payment, read what is a purchase order, and for where your number ends up on the supplier's bill, see our guide to the PO number on an invoice. If you are the seller and a customer has sent you a purchase order, confirm it with the sales order generator.
