Purchase Orders
Add Purchase Order Numbers to bookings and change requests that require internal pre-approval and streamlined payment reconciliation.
🎁 More on the way for Purchase Orders
As you read this, we’re working right now to add even more to Purchase Order Numbers. Two additional capabilities are coming soon:
- Guest Checkout: Guests will be able to add a PO number at checkout on the Marketplace, when logged in as an organisation (coming soon)
- Filtering: You will be able to find a booking by its PO number using super search, just like you can with a booking ID
For Hirers
If your organisation needs a purchase order for payment, SpacetoCo makes it easy to add the number to your bookings and change requests. This feature is here to help you and your finance team secure pre-approval and reconcile payments smoothly later on.
PO numbers can be added to bookings and change requests either when you create the booking or after the fact. Once added, they will then appear against your bookings, on invoices and in Payment History.
✏️ Where you can add PO numbers
Regular hirers (from your dashboard)- Add to your regular application that will be used for bookings you make with the host.
- Add when creating or editing bookings from your dashboard.
- Add when requesting a change to a booking from your dashboard.
- Add a PO number at checkout on the Marketplace, when logged in as an organisation (coming soon).
👀 Where PO numbers appear
- Payment history: Shown next to each invoice/payment on your payment history screen.
- Invoices: Located at the top of the invoice, and within each relevant line item where a booking or change request has an accompanying PO number.
- Bookings: When viewing bookings from your dashboard, you can search by Purchase Order number. You can also view and edit it on the booking itself.
🧠 Things to know about PO numbers
- When booking a space through the Marketplace with several bookings in your cart, any PO numbers you enter will be assigned to all bookings in your cart.
- You can add multiple numbers wherever PO numbers appear.
Purchase Order Numbers appear in invoicing at the top of invoices and under booking details
For Hosts
If you're working with an enterprise or government organisation that uses Purchase Orders, SpacetoCo has you covered. Both hosts and hirers can enter and update PO numbers (e.g ACME-123) on bookings and change requests.
Once added, you can find a booking using PO numbers across your host dashboard and in reporting.
