# Create and manage purchase orders inside Jira

> Use Raley Purchase Orders to generate POs, route them through approval workflows, track budgets, and send formatted PDF orders to suppliers from Jira.

## Overview

The Purchase Orders module brings the full procurement lifecycle into Jira — from initial purchase requests through approvals, budget tracking, goods receipt, and reporting.

## Creating Your First Purchase Order

**Prerequisites:** Suppliers and products must be configured before creating a PO. See [Managing Suppliers and Products](/apps/procurement/managing-suppliers-and-products).

**Required role:** Finance

1. Open your Jira project and go to **Apps → Purchase Orders**
2. Click **Create new purchase order**
3. Select the **Supplier** from your configured supplier list
4. Select the **Currency** for this order (defaults to your project default)
5. Add **order lines** — choose a product from the supplier's catalog and enter the quantity
6. Review the calculated totals (unit prices, tax, discounts)
7. Click **Save** — the PO is created with status **Draft**

## Submitting for Approval

1. Open the saved PO and confirm all order lines are correct
2. Click **Submit for Approval**
3. The PO status changes to **Pending Approval** and the assigned approver is notified
4. The approver opens the PO and clicks **Approve** or **Reject**
5. On approval, the status advances to **Approved** and the PO is ready to action

For multi-level approval configuration, go to **Project Settings → Purchase Orders → Approval Tiers**.

## Recording Goods Receipt

When ordered items arrive:

1. Open the approved PO
2. Click **Receive Goods**
3. Enter the quantities received for each order line (partial receipts are supported)
4. Click **Save** — the received quantities are recorded and the PO status updates accordingly
