titleWe generally don't use Purchase Order, but we love that we can request items from a pictorial catalog. Can we turn off Purchase order generation?

We have developed three distinct workflows tailored to different needs concerning Purchase Orders:

  1. Multiple Issues Order Flow: This flow allows you to interact with external vendors by providing them access to a purchase order from Jira Service Management. Vendors can log in to the portal and view the purchase order, as well as send related invoices. For each unique vendor item requested, Checkout will produce a linked issue along with a purchase order. This method ensures that each vendor views their respective purchase order when accessing the digital order via the portal. Additionally, vendors can generate invoices corresponding to these purchase orders.

  2. Single Issue Order Flow: This is the traditional method best suited for situations where vendors won't be logging into the portal to view their Purchase Orders or produce invoices.

  3. Disabled Purchase Orders: Ideal for those who have an alternate PO system in place, this option allows you to use Checkout mainly for facilitating organizational orders without generating a Purchase Order.

These workflows provide flexibility and cater to various scenarios based on your specific requirements regarding Purchase Orders.

You can configure your Checkout workflow setting here.
