FAQ

Checkout is as an innovative solution designed to enhance IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM) within the Jira Service Management (JSM) and Jira Assets framework. It aims to revolutionize the asset procurement process, covering the entire lifecycle from the initial request to the final retirement of assets. Checkout facilitates a highly collaborative environment, integrating various teams within an organization—such as internal customers, procurement, accounting, and external vendors—thereby streamlining operations and improving efficiency in procurement and asset management

Absolutely! As a project admin, navigate to Project settings > Checkout and turn on Checkout.

The simple answer is no. The assets and items associated with each other will be broken.

The best course of action is to move other issues and request types into the Checkout project and then rename the project. However, it's important not to change the project key.

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.
