in replying please quote reference .....


Explanation:
I found this in the Collins Robert Management dictionary. So no, there does not appear to be a more precise term in use.

Quote (our) reference : XXX


Explanation:
First answer is clsoest in meaning, but perhaps long for a form.

Second one may be absolutely spot on, but if the PO and Ref N°s are not the same...

The third one is commonly used, but provides no indication that the ref. has to be quoted...

Hence "quote our reference", "quote O/Ref." is an common short form.
