About this example

This example is the purchase order an architecture firm sends an IT reseller for a fourth-floor equipment refresh. It orders fifteen laptops and workstations, thirty monitors, docks and keyboards, plus network storage, a switch and two UPS units, at the prices in the reseller's quote, with Indiana sales tax on the total.

An IT order goes wrong when a cheaper model is substituted or devices arrive without serial numbers. So this PO opens with a cover note, sets a minimum specification for the main laptop, and lists delivery requirements: serial numbers with the invoice, devices registered for zero-touch enrolment, boxes labelled by area and delivery inside the building. A floor plan shows where each kind of equipment goes, a timeline shows the go-live date, and purchase terms cover prices, part deliveries, dead-on-arrival units, invoicing and warranty registration.

Who it is for

Office managers, operations directors and IT leads at small and mid-size companies who buy computers and network equipment from resellers.

Inside and how to use it

What this example contains, and how to make it yours

What's inside

  • A letterhead with a cover note to the reseller and an order summary
  • Laptops, workstations, displays and network kit with sales tax
  • A floor plan of where each kind of equipment goes
  • A minimum specification that rules out substitutes
  • Delivery requirements and the timeline to go-live
  • Purchase terms and authorisation

How to adapt it

  • Quote the reseller's quote number on the PO and every page
  • Set a minimum spec so substitutes are easy to refuse
  • Ask for serial numbers with the invoice, not after
  • Say how boxes should be labelled for each area
