Printing a Purchase Order

This article covers how to print a copy of a Purchase Order in CFS.

Typically the Buyer will email you the Purchase Order ID along with a copy of the purchase order when it is sent to the vendor, so you can also reach out to the assigned Buyer for assistance with obtaining a copy of a purchase order.

Before Getting Started

Before you start this process, you will want to know the Purchase Order ID of the purchase order that you want print.

View information on how to find the purchase order associated with your purchase requisition.

You can copy the purchase order ID so you can paste it later in this process, but you'll also want to write down the PO ID in case the paste doesn't work.
