PO and PO Number

PO stands for Purchase Order. You may need to provide a PO to Aspose if you want to pay through wire transfer instead of a credit card. Some of our customers have asked us questions about POs:

  • What is a PO?
  • What is a PO number?
  • How do you create a PO?

A purchase order is a document that states your company's willingness to make a purchase. They were initially used by companies that had a central purchasing department. Staff completed a PO, got it signed by their manager and passed it to the purchase department who organized the purchase.

A PO number can be any number defined by your company as long as it uniquely identifies your PO. Any number can work as a purchase order number: it doesn't have to have a particular structure.

The PO gives information about your company, the quantities and types of licenses you want to buy, etc. To make it easy for you, we have created a sample purchase order for download. If your company does not have a PO template, you can use this sample PO and the information on this page to set one up.
