Y'all (that's southern for yous guys) are definitely half right so far.

Spoiler for Hint

Perhaps some expensive (only as opposed to free) association looking at it in conjuction with Mr Dumler's response would help.

modified hint

Time for an alternate clue for purchase order before this one grows too stale. Already have one (yet another shameless plug) that went by the wayside.

Let's try later still.

This clue by itself would be pretty unfair but considering where we're at with the first clue as well as the two hints (one announced and now modified) think it's okay.
