## What the document contains

| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Header | Your brand logo and name, the **Purchase Order No.** and the **Order Date** |
| Brand address | The address saved for your brand (first page only) |
| **SUPPLIER** | The supplier's name, address, city, post code and country (first page only) |
| **WAREHOUSE** | The delivery address: address, city, post code and country (first page only) |
| Shipping information | **Ex-Factory Date**, **Shipping Method** and **Payment Terms**; **N/A** when a value is empty (first page only) |
| **Items & Details** | One line per style and colour with its picture, name, colour and the quantity for each size, followed by **Quantity**, **Unit Price** and **Total** |
| Totals (last page) | **SUBTOTAL**, **SHIPPING COST** (only when the order has **Add Shipping Cost on PO?** turned on), **VAT** with its percentage, and **TOTAL** |

Sizes with a quantity of zero are left out of the line. Each page is A4 portrait, holds up to ten lines, and shows **Page 1/n** at the bottom right.

> [!NOTE]
> The prices and quantities are the ones on the order when the purchase order was created. Reprinting a purchase order later gives the same figures even if a style's cost has changed since. To change them, [edit the order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-order-edit-order/) and create a new purchase order.
