Online Purchase Order Template

Finish the Purchase Order in One Place

An online purchase order template gives you the structure of a professional PO without making you manage a separate Word file or spreadsheet. Open Docelf, add the order details, and send the finished document from the same place.

You can:

• Add your business, vendor, PO number, order date, and delivery details
• List products, services, materials, rentals, quantities, and unit prices
• Let Docelf calculate discounts, sales tax, shipping, and totals
• Email the purchase order to your vendor and see when it is opened
• Print the finished order or download a PDF for your records
• Reuse saved vendor, product, and service details on the next purchase order

No spreadsheet to repair. No attachment called final-final-PO.xlsx to find later.

How to Create an Online Purchase Order

Work from the top of the order to the bottom. Docelf keeps the details together and updates the total while you work.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1. Add Your Business: Enter the business name, address, contact details, and branding the vendor should see.
2. Add the PO Number and Date: Give the order a unique number and add the date so both sides can refer to the same purchase.
3. Add the Vendor: Choose a saved vendor or enter the vendor's business and contact information.
4. Set the Delivery Details: Add the shipping address, job site, requested delivery date, and special instructions.
5. List What You Are Ordering: Describe each product, service, material, rental, or other item clearly.
6. Add Quantities and Prices: Enter the quantity and unit price. Add discounts, sales tax, or shipping when they apply, and Docelf updates the total.
7. Check and Send: Add terms and notes, review the order, then email it online, print it, or download the PDF.

Before you send it, check the quantities, prices, shipping address, and delivery date. Online is fast. A pallet sent to the wrong address is still very much offline.

Why Create a Purchase Order Online?

Use an online purchase order when you want to finish the document now, send it without switching tools, and keep a dependable copy for later.

• Create it where you work: Use Docelf on a phone, tablet, or desktop computer.
• Skip manual calculations: Docelf updates line totals and the order total as you add the purchase.
• Send it without another attachment: Email the purchase order to your vendor from Docelf.
• Know whether it arrived: See when your vendor opens the purchase order instead of wondering.
• Keep a finished copy: Download a PDF or print the order whenever you need it.
• Save time on the next order: Reuse vendor, product, and service details instead of entering them again.

Use the Online Template for Products or Services

An online purchase order can cover physical goods, vendor services, or a mix of both. The important part is giving the vendor enough detail to act without another round of emails.

Online Purchase Order or Downloadable File?

Create the purchase order online when you want Docelf to handle the calculations, sending, open tracking, and recordkeeping in one place. Choose a downloadable format when you specifically need to work in Word, Excel, or another file-based tool.

Online Purchase Order Template FAQs
