# Create Purchase Orders

Once you've [assigned suppliers to your products](/learn/set-up-products-for-purchase-orders/), you can create purchase orders.

To create a purchase order, open the **Purchase Orders** app and select **New Purchase Order**.

Select a supplier for the purchase order and select **Create**.

Add a single product to the purchase order by selecting **Add Single Product**, or add multiple products by selecting **Add Multiple Products**. When adding multiple products, you can filter by product category and brand.

After adding products to the purchase order, you can update product quantities as needed.

- **Qty:** Total quantity that will be reordered for this product. You can adjust this quantity as needed.

  - If you use desired quantity on hand, **Qty** is calculated as **Desired** minus **Stock**.

  - If you have another open purchase order with the same supplier, **Qty** is calculated as **Desired** minus **On Order** minus **Stock**.

- **Received:** Once you [receive your order](/learn/receive-a-purchase-order-delivery/), this is where you will enter the quantity received.

- **Stock:** Current stock level.

- **Desired:** Desired quantity on hand based on your product settings. [Learn how to set the desired quantity on hand](/learn/set-up-products-for-purchase-orders/).

- **On Order:** Quantity that is currently on another open purchase order for this supplier.

- **Total:** Quantity multiplied by the product cost.

After confirming all products and quantities are correct, select **Save**.

Use the **Download** button to download the purchase order as a PDF to send to your supplier or select **Download as Excel** from the "..." menu to download the purchase order as a CSV file.
