QDE Purchase Order

Purchase Order Purchase Order is designed for minimum keying for a small business, dealing with a small range of suppliers for minimum purchases. This document is likely not suitable for a business of significant scale, other than for casual purchases. Our use is for two main suppliers, one in the USA and one local who represent > 90% of the 20 or so orders we place each year. Arithmetic is automated, including calculation of GST (VAT) where required. Supplier names and ship to addresses may be drawn from lookups.
