Dobydil Orders

Free Purchase Order Generator for Small Business

The document that goes the other direction

Invoices and quotes go out to customers. A purchase order is the same idea pointed the other way — what you're ordering in, not billing out. If you buy stock, raw materials, or supplies from anyone, a proper PO gives you a paper trail: what was ordered, at what price, and whether it's shown up yet.

How it works

1

List what you're ordering

Vendor, line items, tax region — the same line-item builder as Dobydil Invoice and Quotes, just addressed the other way.

2

Track it through to delivery

Draft, sent, received, or cancelled — a purchase order's status tells you what's still outstanding with a supplier.

3

Download and send

A clean PDF to email or hand to your supplier, the same as any other Dobydil document.

Questions

Does marking an order 'received' update my inventory automatically?

No — on purpose. Matching a purchase order line item to the right inventory item automatically risks getting it wrong on a typo or a renamed product, silently corrupting your stock count. Marking an order received just tracks the order itself; update quantities in Dobydil Stock yourself when goods arrive, so the number is one you actually checked.

Do I need a saved vendor list first?

No — just type the vendor name each time, the same as customer names on quotes and invoices.

What if goods move without a sale — job work, a return, a sample?

That's Dobydil Delivery Challans, linked from your purchase orders when relevant. No tax applies since nothing's being sold, so it's a different document from an invoice or a PO.

What if a vendor overcharges me, or I need to return damaged goods?

Dobydil Debit Notes handles that — the mirror of a credit note, pointed at a vendor instead of a customer, optionally linked to the original purchase order. Same as everywhere else: it's a record, not an automatic adjustment to the PO.
