How to Create a PDF Purchase Order

Create the order in Docelf first. Once the details are correct, download the PDF as the finished copy for your vendor and your records.

How to create and download a PDF purchase order with Docelf
  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. List the Items: Add each product or service with its quantity and unit price.
  6. Check Terms and Total: Review discounts, tax, shipping, payment terms, and the final total.
  7. Download or Send: Download the PDF, print it, or email the order from Docelf.

Before you download it, check the vendor, quantities, prices, total, shipping address, and delivery date. A polished PDF still sends the wrong order if the details are wrong.

Finish the Order, Then Download the PDF

A PDF purchase order gives your vendor a stable copy of the order. The layout stays together when you attach it to an email, print it, or save it with the rest of the purchase records.

Why Send a Purchase Order as a PDF?

PDF works well when the order is ready to leave your desk. It gives the vendor a document that is easy to open and keeps the page from shifting between devices or printers.

Easy to Email

Attach the PDF to an email or send the purchase order directly from Docelf. The vendor receives a clear copy of what you approved.

Ready to Print

Print the purchase order for a job folder, approval packet, delivery desk, or vendor who still likes paper.

Simple to Sign

Use the PDF when your process requires a written approval or signature before the vendor begins the work or ships the order.

Easier to File

Save the PDF with the quote, delivery record, and vendor invoice so the purchase is easier to check later.

When a PDF Purchase Order Works Best

Choose PDF when the purchase order is complete and you need a dependable copy to send or keep.

A PDF is usually the final output, not the best place to build the order. Fill in and revise the purchase order in Docelf, Word, Excel, Google Docs, or Google Sheets first. Then export the finished copy.

PDF, Editable, Word, or Online?

Choose the format by what you need to do next. PDF is for the finished copy. Other formats make more sense while you are still changing the order.

Check the Purchase Order Before You Export It

The PDF should be the clean final version. Give the order one last review before you download or send it.

Changed a quantity after exporting? Update the original purchase order and create a new PDF. That keeps the document and the math in agreement.
