What breaks
Reorder points are set once and never revisited, so the same item either runs out on a Friday or sits on the rack for a year.
What the workflow does
- On-hand, on-order and in-transit quantities are read from the ERP and compared with the reorder point.
- Actual supplier lead time replaces the planned figure wherever the two disagree.
- Every item below its reorder point gets a suggested quantity and a suggested order date.
- Draft requisitions are grouped by supplier so approval happens in one pass.
- A weekly risk view shows which items run out before the next inbound delivery.
What a human approves
The buyer sets the final quantity, reorder point and safety stock, and approves each requisition before it becomes a purchase order.
