Choosing a purchase order template

A purchase order is a legal commitment to buy, so it should look deliberate. Corporate and Professional are the natural defaults: structured, restrained and easy for a vendor's accounts team to process. Minimal works well for tech-forward companies that prize clarity over ornament. Classic and Elegant suit traditional industries such as manufacturing and wholesale, where a serif header and gold rules still carry authority. For internal approvals within a larger organisation, Forest and Emerald give the document a recognisable colour signature without distracting from the line items.

Switch templates without losing data

Templates are presentation only. Your buyer and vendor details, PO number, line items, quantities, agreed prices and delivery date all stay in place when you switch. Draft the purchase order once, then try each template in turn to see which your finance team prefers — and switch back any time. When you are ready to prepare your order, you can draft and customize it in our purchase order generator.

What's a Purchase Order Template?

A purchase order template lets a buyer tell a supplier exactly what's being ordered. It creates a written record of quantities, prices, delivery details, and terms before the order gets fulfilled.

Especially helpful if you deal with multiple vendors or need a clear internal approval and receiving trail.

What's Inside a Good PO Template

  • Buyer details: Name, address, and contact info.
  • Supplier details: Who you're ordering from.
  • PO number: A unique reference for the order.
  • Order lines: Descriptions, quantities, and agreed prices.
  • Delivery info: Address and timing, if relevant.
  • Terms: Payment, shipping, specs, or special instructions.

  2. Enter buyer and supplier info.
  3. Add what's being ordered.
