Using the Purchase Order Template

Values within [brackets] are meant to be replaced with your company (the buyer) or vendor (the seller) information. Below are descriptions of fields used in purchase orders:

  • [Company Name]: The main title and address listed at the top of the invoice is for the buyer - the company requesting the order.
  • P.O.#: The Purchase Order number. This is a number used by the buyer to track purchase orders.
  • Vendor: The name and address of the vendor (the seller).
  • Ship To: Your company's name and address - where you want the products to be shipped to.
  • Requisitioner: The name of the person ordering the products (the buyer). This person is usually the contact listed at the bottom of the purchase order.
  • Ship Via: The method of shipment such as "UPS Ground", "Federal Express", that the buyer is requesting.
  • F.O.B.: This stands for "Free On Board" which is usually "Destination" or "Shipping Point". For more information, see F.O.B. at wikipedia.com
  • Shipping Terms: This field is usually used for payment terms such as the method of payment or when the payment is due (usually set by the vendor or seller). Details that don't fit within the Terms field can be described in more detail in the Special Instructions block.
