How to write a capital equipment purchase order
A capital equipment PO commits to a high-value asset — machinery, plant, a major system — where the spec, installation, warranty and staged payments all matter. For a sizeable, often approved-at-board-level purchase, the PO is the formal record of what was agreed.

Frequently asked questions
What should a capital equipment PO include?
The PO number, any capital-approval reference, the supplier, the asset spec and options, the price with installation and commissioning, the warranty, and the payment milestones and delivery date. Staged payments tied to delivery and sign-off are standard for capital purchases.
Why use payment milestones?
High-value equipment is usually paid in stages — on order, on delivery and on sign-off — so the buyer isn’t fully paid out before the asset is installed and working. State the split on the PO.
