Frequently asked questions

When should a retail store send a purchase order?

Send a PO whenever you reorder stock from a supplier, especially for larger or recurring orders. It protects you legally and gives the supplier a clear reference to fulfill.

What information must a retail purchase order include?

Include your store name and address, the supplier's name and address, a unique PO number, issue date, a list of products with quantities and agreed unit prices, and any delivery instructions.

Can a purchase order be used as proof of purchase?

A PO is a commitment to buy, not proof of receipt. Once goods arrive and match the PO, a goods receipt note or the supplier's invoice becomes the proof of purchase.
