Raley Purchase Order makes the following assumptions about your instance:
1) One Jira instance is used by 1 organisation
2) All purchasing processes in this organisation are currently run in 1 Jira project
This effectively means that you can have several Jira projects meant for running your purchasing processes, however, only one of them will be actively connected to the Raley Purchase Orders.
This setup is applicable if you either previously used Raley Purchase Orders and have actual orders data or if you decided to switch to a different Jira project/issue type/workflow for running your purchasing processes. Switching to a different Jira project/ issue type/ workflow will not erase your data from Raley PO. It will stay there as is and you can always return to it by changing configuration as indicated in previous paragraph (4, 5a, 5b).
It is important to understand that while the actual purchase order related data stays intact in our add-on, your inactive (from Raley PO perspective) Jira project continues to live on its own pace, so there could be inconsistencies between statuses of the tickets in Jira and the statuses of appropriate purchase orders in Raley PO.
