How to use this purchase order template for Malta
A purchase order is usually sent by the buyer to a supplier before goods or services are delivered. It records what has been approved, where it should be delivered, and which PO number the supplier should quote on later paperwork.
For Malta, include local buyer/supplier identifiers such as VAT number, customer details, project reference where useful, but keep the document separate from a final supplier invoice.
Purchase Order and supplier invoices in Malta
A purchase order is normally created by the buyer to approve a supplier purchase. It does not replace the supplier’s invoice, tax invoice, fiscal invoice, or official e-invoice where those are required.
Fields included in the template
PO number
Gives the supplier and buyer one reference for approval, delivery, and invoice matching.
Buyer and supplier details
Makes clear who is ordering and who should fulfil the order.
Delivery address and requested date
Reduces fulfilment errors before goods or services are supplied.
Approver and terms
Shows who authorised the purchase and what payment or delivery terms apply.
VAT estimate line
Lets purchasing teams estimate tax without turning the PO into a final invoice.
What to include
- PO number, order date, buyer, supplier, and approver.
- Delivery address, requested delivery date, shipping method, and contact person.
- Line items for description, quantity, unit price, subtotal, VAT, and total estimate.
- Payment terms, delivery terms, notes, and supplier instructions.
- Local identifiers such as VAT number, customer details, project reference where relevant.
Purchase order, quote, or invoice?
Use a quote when the supplier proposes a price. Use a purchase order when the buyer approves what to buy. Use an invoice when the supplier requests payment after the goods or services are supplied.
This distinction keeps the Malta page focused on procurement intent and avoids confusing PO searches with invoice-template searches.

Who creates a purchase order?
The buyer normally creates the purchase order and sends it to the supplier before the goods or services are fulfilled.
