The EDI download is an X12 004010 850. Enter the interchange IDs and qualifiers you and your vendor agreed on. Tax and shipping go in the 850 header, so it totals the same as the PDF.

The file uses YOUR-EDI-ID and PARTNER-EDI-ID as stand-ins. Get your real interchange IDs from your vendor before you send it, or their system will reject it.

Purchase Order Template Basics

A purchase order is the buyer's written request for goods at an agreed price. Once the vendor accepts it, it becomes the reference for everything after: the vendor's acknowledgment, the packing slip, the bill of lading and the invoice all quote the PO number. A complete PO prevents most invoice disputes, because quantity, price and terms were agreed in writing first.

This generator keeps the line items, addresses and totals in one place, so the PDF, the spreadsheet and the EDI 850 always say the same thing. Shipping a PO yourself? Pair it with the packing slip generator and the bill of lading generator. Selling rather than buying? The sales order template and wholesale order form are built for that side. To read an 850 a customer sent you, use the EDI to PDF converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a purchase order include?

A PO number, the order date, your company as the buyer, the vendor, the ship-to address, each item with its SKU, description, quantity, unit and price, the payment terms, and any delivery instructions. The PO number is the reference the vendor puts on the packing slip and invoice, so keep it unique.

Is this purchase order template free?

Yes, with no signup. Fill in the form, check the live preview, and download a PDF or Excel file. Nothing is sent to OrderSync; your details are kept in this browser so the next PO starts filled in.

Can I send the purchase order as EDI?

Yes. Download EDI 850 gives an X12 004010 purchase order with your lines, prices, ship-to and terms, checked with the same validator as our EDI Inspector. Enter the EDI IDs you agreed with your vendor under EDI 850 options.

What is the difference between a purchase order and a sales order?

The buyer issues the purchase order to ask for goods. The seller records the same order as a sales order once they accept it. If you are the seller, use the sales order template instead.

Can I remove the ordersync.io line from the PDF?

Yes. Untick the footer option. There is no logo or other branding on your purchase order.
