Feature request: Generate a purchase order for approval

[ICT-GTE]

Our current Asset Management system allows us to add an asset (which we ordered) and generate a purchase order (number is auto-generated). This order is sent to the person who requested the item and the manager to be approved.
In Snipe-IT we see a field to add a purchase order number, but that is it. We are looking for a new Asset Management System and Snipe-It does meet a lot of our requirements. We do however need to be able to generate purchase orders from the Asset Management System. As long as Snipe-IT does not provide this feature, it will not be an option for us.
I understand it is not on the roadmap for now and was advised to put my request here.

Converting this into a discussion so we can continue there.

I know @uberbrady and I have both taken a stab at this (and I'm sure there are tons of open issues around this). It's still definitely on our radar, I think what we'd need to move this forward is more information on workflows. Every org workflow is a little different, and because this is a pretty big feature, we want to know how folks want this to work so we don't have to fix it later.
