A purchase-order email should convert an approved quotation into one controlled order version. It should identify the exact product, quantity, artwork, packaging, approval reference, commercial terms and required date so the supplier is not forced to infer which earlier message controls production.

PO Control Checklist
| PO detail | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Exact product | Model/SKU and configuration match the latest approved quotation. |
| Quantity | Total quantity and SKU/color split match purchasing approval. |
| Artwork | File version, branding position and colors match the controlling proof. |
| Packaging | Unit pack, labels, inserts, boxes, barcode and carton marks are defined or clearly marked pending. |
| Sample / proof | State which evidence controls production and whether approval is complete. |
| Commercial terms | Price, setup/tooling/sample costs, Incoterm/named place and payment milestones match the current quote/PI. |
| Timing | Required in-hand date and production-time start milestone are understood. |
When to Issue or Revise the PO
Issue the PO when the buyer has enough information to identify the intended order. If product, quantity, branding, packaging, tooling, testing, destination or another material scope changes later, update the controlled order record rather than relying on a new email thread alone.
FAQ
Can a PO be issued before sample approval?
Yes when the PO or order confirmation clearly states which approvals remain pending and that production release depends on them where required.
Should the PO include shipping terms?
Yes when shipping is part of the commercial scope. Record the agreed Incoterm/named place or other service basis instead of writing only “shipping included.”
Should a product-specific MOQ appear on the PO?
The PO should show the actual ordered quantity. Any MOQ or quantity constraint should already be reflected in the accepted quotation or order structure.
