Yes, you can create a License without a Purchase Order. You can use the "Create a License" from the "License Compliance" menu. Link the correct Application when you create the License. Once the License is created you can use the "Extra entitlements" from the "Compliance" tab to set the number of applicable entitlements (make sure you Save it after you edit the Extra entitlements".
Extra Entitlements are a dditional entitlements that are not recorded as purchases. Note: Extra Entitlements are Not available for Enterprise , Enterprise Agreement , or Site licenses (where the concept of extra entitlements is not meaningful).

Hi Manny, while there is no "one size fits all" for determing which publishers to onboard and sustain within a SAM Program, here are some guidelines to help determine scope.
Current Spend – managing the larger spend publishers can allow for further optimization/savings as well as having a full understanding of that vendors spend compared to actual usage. It's the 80/20 rule - 80% of software spend is with 20% of publishers.
Spend planned for net new Licenses – understanding the current license position and opportunities to remove unused installs before purchasing new can be a cost avoidance
Upcoming Maintenance Renewal spend/timeline – understanding the current license position and opportunities to remove unused installs before a maintenance renewal may allow for a cost savings
Number of Commercial Application Installations – larger installs can often be considered low hanging fruit to effectively manage the environment and may overlap with #1 & #2 & #3
Known exposures – If a company knows it is over deploying licenses for any publisher or then this should be considered a high priority vendor.
Publishers that are actively auditing companies (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Adobe, Symantec, Attachmate, Micro Focus and AutoDesk)
Applications you plan to include in your Service Catalog for employee self-serve so you can verify License availability before installation
If using AppBroker for reclamation campaigns the onboarding the associated publisher/applications first should be considered.
