About this tool

A purchase order number lets a supplier quote it on their invoice, so you can match the invoice to what you ordered and who approved it. Numbers should be unique and follow on in order, so gaps and duplicates stand out. A pattern such as PO-2026-0007 keeps orders sorted by year and number.

“Copy and use this number” copies the number, logs it with today's date and an optional note (the supplier, say), and moves on to the next one. The sequence and log are saved on this device, and you can download the log as a CSV to keep with your purchase records.
