"Can we get 50 more of those?" is how you end up with the wrong item, at the wrong price, delivered late. Every purchase order email needs:
1. The PO number in the subject line
2. Every item with its SKU and exact quantity
3. The agreed price and payment terms
4. Where to deliver, and by when
5. A request to confirm
Example:
Subject: Purchase Order #2291 – Northfield Café
