How to use DPO / Digital Purchase Orders

Film during COVID-19, AP Accounting

Productions are starting to re-open amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Much of Production and Accounting paperwork has shifted to be digital.

My current show is using a platform for POs (Purchase Orders) called DPO (Digital Purchase Order). In the past Purchase Orders used to be carbon copies, now Film and TV Accounting departments are moving to be digital. Stay current!

Save the DPO link in your bookmarks.

Spoiler, you need to have a quote to get a PO # to give to your vendor.

Remember to be specific with your descriptions and input accounting coding.

Set # and set names can be specified in the “Notes” section.

I also have a special workaround so you don’t have to input every line item.

AND there is a way to revise a PO once it has already been created.

Download your PO as a PDF and save it to your files.

Let me know what other platforms your show is using for POs or check requests.
