AWS Marketplace now supports mandatory purchase orders and custom messaging

AWS Marketplace now supports mandatory purchase order requirements and custom messaging at the time of purchase, allowing organizations to strengthen their procurement governance. These capabilities help procurement, software asset management, and cloud governance teams enforce compliance policies while maintaining purchasing agility.

Administrators can now enforce their mandatory purchase order policy by requiring buyers to provide purchase orders when subscribing to products through AWS Marketplace. These requirements can be applied to purchases through a private and public offer across various pricing types. Additionally, administrators can add a custom message on the procurement page, providing guidance on policy requirements and support contacts. Organizations can implement purchase order requirements without custom messaging, use custom messaging to guide buyers through the procurement process, or combine both features for more comprehensive governance. These capabilities can also be used with Private Marketplace, which allows customers to create a curated catalog of approved products for specific users and groups within an AWS organization. This flexibility helps finance and procurement teams enforce compliance at the time of purchase, improve cost allocation accuracy, and streamline procurement-to-pay cycles.

These capabilities are available today in all AWS Regions where AWS Marketplace is supported.
