Hey,

Im about to order goods from a distributor in England and there asking me for a PO Number?

Why are they asking me for a PO number and what is a PO number???

Please help - need to order today.

Thanks.
 
Why don't you ask the distributor?!?!

In this context "PO" = "Purchase Order".
 
They would use it as a reference number on their docket / invoice to you, most Company's use them to match up orders against price. Its a Purchase Order number....if you don't use the system yourself make up one for example with todays date 090708 or a random number

Most companies use a purchase order system in order to track goods from order to invoice.
If you dont use a purchase order system, either make up a number or just tell them to use your name as the purchase order.
