Purchase Orders — Features
A purchase order is a detailed list of the items you plan to purchase from a particular vendor you selected for the purchase order.
The Purchase Orders program provides four standard 8½-inch by 11-inch or A4 purchase order report layouts (including two formats for preprinted forms) and one default e-mail message that you can use for POs.
You can either use one of the purchase order reports or the e-mail message that comes with the program, adapt it to your needs, or design your own.
For instructions on printing purchase orders, see Purchase orders — printing.

You can adapt the format for purchase orders or create your own purchase order format using the report designer.
