Temp Table collation conflict - Error : Cannot resolve the collation conflict between Latin1* and SQL_Latin1*

This happens because the collations on #tempdb.temp_po.OD1 and STR_IndentDetail.D1 are different (and specifically, note that #tempdb is a different, system database, which is generally why it will have a default opinion for collation, unlike your own databases and tables where you may have provided more specific opinions).

Since you have control over the creation of the temp table, the easiest way to solve this appears to be to create *char columns in the temp table with the same collation as your STR_IndentDetail table:

CREATE TABLE #temp_po(
    IndentID INT, 
    OIndentDetailID INT, 
    OD1 VARCHAR(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 
    .. Same for the other *char columns   

In the situation where you don't have control over the table creation, when you join the columns, another way is to add explicit COLLATE statements in the DML where errors occur, either via COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS or easier, using COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT

SELECT * FROM #temp_po t INNER JOIN STR_IndentDetail s 
   ON t.OD1 = s.D1 COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS;

OR, easier

SELECT * FROM #temp_po t INNER JOIN STR_IndentDetail s 
   ON t.OD1 = s.D1 COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT;

Changing the server collation is not a straight forward decision, there may be other databases on the server which may get impacted. Even changing the database collation is not always advisable for an existing populated database. I think using COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT when creating temp table is the safest and easiest option as it does not hard code any collation in your sql. For example:

CREATE TABLE #temp_table1
(
    column_1    VARCHAR(2)  COLLATE database_default
)
