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 your business name, address, and contact details.
2. Number and Date: Add a unique PO number and the order date.
3. Choose the Vendor: Select a saved vendor or enter new vendor details.
4. Delivery Details: Add the delivery address, requested date, and instructions.
5. Describe the Purchase: List the products, services, or rentals you need.
6. Quantities and Prices: Enter quantities and prices, plus any tax, discounts, or shipping. Docelf updates the total.
7. Review and Send: Add terms and notes. Check the order, then email, print, or download it.

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.

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.

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

• What is an online purchase order template?

  An online purchase order template is a purchase order you complete in a browser instead of editing a separate file. Add your business, vendor, items, prices, delivery details, terms, and notes, then email, print, or download the finished order.

• How do I create a purchase order online?

  Add your business and vendor details, a unique PO number, and the order date. List the products or services with quantities and prices, add delivery details and terms, check the total, then email the purchase order, print it, or download a PDF.

• Can I send a purchase order online to a vendor?

  Yes. You can email the purchase order to your vendor from Docelf. The vendor can open the digital purchase order, and you can also download a PDF or print a copy.

• Can I see when my vendor opens the purchase order?
