You can export Purchase Order information from techOMS as either a PDF or CSV file. You can export a single Purchase Order from its detail view or export multiple selected Purchase Orders from the list.


This guide covers how to use both export methods and what information you can expect in each exported file.

Export Multiple Purchase Orders from the List

Step 1Under Purchases, click Purchase Orders.

 

Step 2Select the Purchase Order records you want to export.

 

Step 3Open the bulk Export menu.

 

Step 4Select one of the available export formats:

  • Export as CSV

 


The resulting bulk export depends on the selected format:

  • PDF: techOMS downloads one PDF containing a separate, complete Purchase Order document for each selected Purchase Order.
  • CSV: techOMS downloads one CSV containing information for all selected Purchase Orders.


You have now completed the bulk export. Continue below to review the information included in each file type.


Review the PDF Export


The PDF export provides a formatted Purchase Order document containing the information required to review or share the order.


The generated PDF includes:

  • Purchase Order information: Status, Order Number, Date, Channel, Source, Requested Warehouse, Requested Carrier, Requested Service, Reference Number, PO Number, and Currency.
  • Address information: Ship To, Bill To, Supplier Pick Up Address, and Supplier Bill To Address.
  • Order details: Purchase Order line items and their associated product information.
  • Pricing information: Line-level pricing, Subtotal, and Total values.
  • Notes: Any Notes included in the exported Purchase Order.

 

 
NoteWhen an optional PDF field has no value, the field remains visible and displays a hyphen (-) instead of interrupting the document layout. 
 

 

 
NoteA long Purchase Order can continue across multiple PDF pages. techOMS preserves the line sequence and displays the final totals correctly at the end of the document. 
 

 

After reviewing the PDF, you can use the generated document according to your Purchase Order workflow.


Review the CSV Export


The CSV export provides structured Purchase Order data that you can review or process outside techOMS.


The generated CSV contains the following columns:

  • Order information: Status, Order Number, Date, Requested Warehouse, Requested Carrier, Requested Service, Reference Number, Currency, and Ship Date.
  • Address and Supplier information: Ship To, Bill To, Email, Supplier, Supplier Contact, and Supplier Address.
  • Line information: SKU, Product, Qty, Price, Subtotal, Discount, and Received Qty.

 

 
NoteThe CSV export does not include Type, Tag, Original SKU, Fulfilled Qty, or Allocated Qty. 
 

 

After opening the CSV, verify the exported Purchase Order information before using the file in your downstream workflow.
