What a PO is for
A purchase order is your commitment to buy — sent to a vendor before they ship or start work, so both sides have a record of what was ordered, at what price, and by when. When the vendor bills you against it, that's a separate document on their end, not something this tool generates.
For how a quotation, PO, proforma and tax invoice fit together — and why only the last one counts for GST input credit — read purchase order vs quotation vs invoice.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a purchase order and an invoice?
A PO is the buyer's commitment to purchase, sent before the goods or work are delivered. An invoice is the seller's demand for payment, sent after delivery, referencing the PO. They're issued by different parties for different stages of the same transaction.
Do I need to charge GST on a purchase order?
A PO itself typically isn't a GST document — it's an internal commitment to buy. The vendor charges and shows GST on the invoice they raise against your PO. This tool includes GST fields so you can record the expected rate/split for your own reference, not to formally charge tax on the PO.
What details should a purchase order include?
At minimum: a PO number and date, vendor and buyer details, the items with quantity and agreed price, and the expected delivery date. Add payment or delivery terms in the notes field if they matter for this order.
