## Purchase Orders

Purchase Orders (POs) in Pipeline let you order materials and services from suppliers, linked to specific jobs.

### PO Header

Each PO contains:

* **PO Reference** - Unique purchase order number
* **Supplier Name** - The supplier you are ordering from
* **Supplier Email** - For sending the PO electronically
* **Delivery Option** - Choose between:
  * **Deliver** - Delivery to the project service address
  * **Collection** - Pick up from the supplier
* **Delivery Address** - Automatically filled based on the delivery option

### PO Line Items

POs support two types of lines:

**Stock/SKU Lines** (for inventory items):

* Our Ref (SKU code)
