Buyer approval desk
PO-DRAFT-1081
Ready for buyer approval; supplier submission stays blocked. Redline can prepare the reorder decision, show the supplier tradeoff, and draft the packet. A customer buyer still controls release.
Buyer decision
Buyer can approve this draft packet.
Safe output
Reviewed draft packet and supplier email draft only.
Stop line
Do not submit to the supplier until an authorized order path and acknowledgment capture exist.
PO packet under review
production-critical repeat supply has 2.7 days of stock remaining. Recommended: order 60 ea from Approved Supplier Account I. Cheapest is not best because the cheaper supplier risks a stockout. Human approval or a pre-approved automation policy is required before supplier submission.

60 ea of Production-critical repeat item.
Approved landed total: $2,370.00
A buyer can approve the draft packet, then send the supplier email from an authorized account.
Quantity override control
Use this only when the buyer changes the recommended quantity for a real operating constraint. Pick the reason, lock the manual quantity, then refresh landed cost and supplier availability before approval.
Matches deterministic quantity
The quantity still matches the deterministic recommendation.
Buyer approval can create a reviewed draft packet. It does not send a supplier order, approve payment, accept substitutions, change freight, replace customer purchasing policy, or bypass the customer's authorized order path.
