What is a purchase order, and what goes on one?
A purchase order (PO) is a formal document a buyer sends to a seller to authorize a purchase. As a freelancer, you might receive POs from corporate clients or issue them to your own subcontractors.
Key components
- PO number — the buyer's reference number for internal tracking.
- Ship-to address — where goods or deliverables should be sent.
- Line items — products/services with quantities and agreed prices.
- Terms — delivery schedule and payment terms.
How to use this tool
- Enter your details as the buyer.
- Add the vendor or subcontractor's details.
- List the items or services you are authorizing them to provide.
- Generate the PO and send it to authorize work.
Why this matters
When hiring subcontractors or buying materials, informal agreements lead to disputes. A Purchase Order creates a binding authorization of scope and cost before work begins.
