Use-case checklist

What to include in a construction materials purchase order

A project-specific PO keeps material commitments out of text threads and gives the supplier a number to place on confirmations, delivery documents, and invoices.

  • buyer, supplier, project, and PO number
  • material descriptions, grades, and quantities
  • unit prices, tax, freight, and authorized total
  • delivery location and required date
  • substitution, backorder, and invoice instructions

Complete it cleanly

Use project and cost-code references, exact quantities and specifications, delivery address and window, freight terms, substitution rules, and an authorized total. Require the supplier invoice to show the PO number.

When this document is the right choice

Use this purchase order to authorize a purchase before a supplier fulfills it. A purchase order comes from the buyer and authorizes an order. The supplier later sends an invoice that references the PO number for matching and payment.
