Resolution

On Jenkins

A. Plugin Configuration

GitHub plugin as explained in GitHub Webhook configuration.

For GitHub Branch Source in case you wish to integrate with a GitHub Enterprise, it needs to be added in Manage Jenkins > Configure System > GitHub Enterprise Servers in order to fetch organizations from that endpoint.

B. Job Configuration

Steps:

Branch Sources > Add source > Github Select the API endpoint
For Owner use the organization
For Credential use Username and Password, typing as password the personal API Token.
Since SCM API 2.2.4 Behaviors section > Make sure Filter by name is removed unless you only want to discover a subset of branches. If it is configured make sure to include PR-* to Discover Pull Requests.

Notes: Automatic branch project triggering > Branch names to build automatically Allows you to control the SCM commit trigger coming from branch indexing.

After saving the job, there is a view with contains all Repositories.

Each of the repositories contains Branches and Pull Request views as explained in [GitHub Webhook Pipeline Multibranch]

On GitHub

C. Validate GitHub WebHook

Make sure post-receive hooks has been created on GitHub at the Organization as follows:

<JENKINS_URL>/github-webhook/ for Pull request, Push and Repository events.
