Complete requests, first time
Required fields stop the incomplete PO that bounces back and forth for a week.
Form Types
Create a purchase order request form
Procurement breaks down when requests arrive as one-line emails. A purchase order form forces the requester to supply vendor, quantity, unit price, budget code and justification before finance ever sees it — which is what makes same-week approval possible.
How to create a purchase order form in Formblyt
Identify the requester and cost centre
Name, department and budget code determine who approves it.
Structure the line items
Item description, quantity, unit price and total as separate fields, not a paragraph.
Capture vendor details
Vendor name, contact and quotation upload so finance can verify pricing.
Require justification
One short field explaining why this purchase is needed avoids the whole first round of questions.
Add approval signature
Use an e-signature field for the requesting manager's authorisation.
Export to finance
Download requests as CSV for your accounting system or ERP import.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add multiple line items?
Add a set of item fields for the common case, and a long-text or upload field for longer itemised lists. For very large orders, ask for an attached itemised sheet.
Does it run an approval workflow?
The form captures the request and the manager's signature. Multi-stage routing and approvals stay in your finance process — Formblyt records, it does not orchestrate.
Can it calculate totals?
Ask for quantity and unit price as numeric fields and calculate totals on export. The form does not compute live totals for the respondent.
Is the purchase order form free to use?
Yes. You can build and publish a purchase order form on the Formblyt free plan, within the free plan's monthly form and response limits. Paid plans raise those limits and unlock branding removal and advanced analytics.
Do respondents need an account?
No. Anyone with the link or QR code can complete the form in a browser. You can optionally require an email address if you need to identify each respondent.
