Buyer approval desk

Draft reorder packet

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

1,500 case of Production supply critical item.

Approved landed total: $1,920.00

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.
