How to write a logistics purchase order
A logistics PO commits to freight, shipping or courier services, so it works by route, service level and rate rather than physical goods. It approves the carrier spend and sets the terms before a shipment moves.

Frequently asked questions
What should a logistics PO include?
The PO number, the carrier, the route and service level, the shipment details, the rate and any surcharges, the total, and the collection/delivery dates and terms. Showing surcharges separately keeps the freight rate transparent.
Why list surcharges separately?
Fuel and customs surcharges are usually pass-through costs on top of the base rate, so a separate line keeps the PO and the carrier’s invoice easy to reconcile.
