# Downloading requests

In Payhawk, you can export all requests and, if enabled for your company, purchase orders regardless of their status. You can also apply filters to download a customized list or download individual purchase orders.

## Downloading individual purchase orders

If purchase orders have been enabled for your company, you'll be able to download individual ones after they've been approved and their supplier added:

1. Select the desired purchase order.
2. Go to its **Documents** tab and click on the file. As a result, the purchase order will be downloaded in the **Downloads** folder on your machine.

## Downloading requests and purchase orders in bulk

You can download requests and purchase orders directly from the **Requests** app in the Payhawk web portal.

- To export all company requests, click on **Download**. As a result, the system will export the list of all requests and purchase orders from all tabs (regardless of their lifecycle status) as a file in your local **Downloads** folder.

- To export a custom list or requests and purchase orders list, apply the desired **Request** or other filters, and then click on **Download**. As a result, the system will export all matching requests and purchase orders from all tabs (regardless of their lifecycle status) as a file in your local **Downloads** folder.
