Purchase Orders - Get Started
Hello and warm welcome to Raley Purchase Orders (PO)!
PO is a little app sitting on the backbone of your Jira cloud that lets you efficiently manage purchasing process in your Organisation.
It has a few distinctive features:
Your Jira users are creating Purchase Requests as Jira tickets
Those tickets are submitted for approval to specific Approver(s). Approvers are specific Jira users who have a right to say yes or no for specific purchase request
Approvers will receive a notification email when their say is needed
Approvers decide if specific purchase request should be approved. If approved, the purchase requests becomes a purchase order with a customizeable PDF file attached to your Jira ticket. You can send it via email to your supplier
The purchase order follows your Jira project workflow, which means that you can fully customise it as per your org. needs
Finance department and Approvers have overview of current state of budgets from the convenience of Jira
Powerful reporting let you see the actual state of your Purchase Orders across Departments, Budgets and Suppliers
