Review repeat buys before money moves.

Files, supplier facts, PO packets, and approval boundaries stay together so a buyer can approve the right action with less manual chasing.

Buyer approval

Required by default

Customer data

Needed before recommendations

Supplier release

Gated until connected

Connect supplier accounts before Redline can send POs.

These local sample rows only prove the review workflow. A live customer must provide approved supplier records, account-specific pricing, authorized order transport, and acknowledgment capture before automatic ordering can be enabled.

Live PO submission blocked

Supplier rows must come from customer-owned files and connected accounts before Redline can send anything outside the app.

Supplier records

Customer file required

Replace fixture placeholders with the customer's approved vendor master.

Connected order paths

Not connected

Real PO submission is blocked until the customer authorizes a supplier path.

Live PO mode

Buyer-approved draft

Buyer review remains the default boundary for every generated PO packet.

Quote refresh desk

Keep supplier comparison honest by flagging stale quote rows, near-expiring prices, and lead times that need written confirmation before a buyer trusts the next PO packet.

Supplier confirmation request

Draft the message a buyer can send before using a quote, ETA, freight assumption, or substitute. This is not a PO and it does not tell the supplier to ship anything.

Current status
Confirmation draft needed
Next action
Use the draft to ask the approved supplier for current price, availability, ETA, freight, MOQ, and substitution facts.
Supplier boundary
Confirm facts only; buyer controls release.

Request inputs

Supplier response loop

Track confirmation requests after Redline asks for current price, availability, ETA, freight, MOQ, substitution, and acknowledgment facts.

Append-only supplier events are the source of truth. The current lane is derived from unresolved events, not manually overwritten.

Buyer review required

2

Supplier replies with substitutions, split dates, short quantity, price, or freight changes stop for buyer decision.

Awaiting > 48 hours

1

Confirmation requests past the chase threshold stay visible until the supplier replies or the buyer escalates.

Clean acknowledgments

1

Acknowledged rows can be attached to the packet, but final purchase authority still belongs to the customer.

Lane filter

Open supplier queue

4 visible

Buyer review required

Partial substitution needs buyer approval

Customer PO line with a supplier-proposed alternate.

Owner

Buyer plus quality or engineering owner

Supplier path

Approved supplier account path.

Buyer action

Route the substitute to the buyer and quality owner; keep the original PO line unchanged until approval or rejection is captured.

Supplier question

Please provide the substitute spec, pack, brand, revision, price, availability, and whether the original item can still ship.

Event trail

  1. Confirmation requested: Confirmation request asked the supplier to name any substitution before processing.
  2. Partial substitution offered: Supplier reply offered a partial substitution instead of the originally requested item.
Current unresolved state

Confirmation requested, Partial substitution offered

Supplier replies do not change the PO. Redline can track the state, draft the follow-up, and show the buyer what changed; customer authority still controls substitutions, split shipments, quantity changes, receiving, invoices, and payment exposure.

Supplier research scorecard

Use this before any replenishment automation claim. It separates public research from customer-authorized purchasing facts so price, ETA, quality, and supplier risk can be reviewed without pretending Redline has PO authority.

Current decision

Blocked before PO packet

This can inform research, but Redline does not draft a PO packet from this evidence yet.

Supplier option comparison

Compare supplier paths by evidence readiness instead of guessing at savings. Redline can only recommend an option for buyer review when the option is approved, acceptable, current, and traceable to customer or supplier-confirmed facts.

Deterministic comparison

Best current option for buyer review: Option A: approved incumbent

This option can lead the buyer-review packet, but it still needs authorized buyer approval before PO or payment exposure.

Supplier account setup

Use this view to see which supplier rows are ready for live ordering. The current local sample has no connected supplier order path, so every row remains blocked.

Connection checklist

Approved vendor-master row

Confirms the supplier is active, owned by the customer, and allowed for the category.

Account terms and ship-to rules

Keeps tax, freight, payment terms, ship-to, and account number from being guessed.

Catalog or quote file

Uses account-specific SKU, unit, price, MOQ, order multiple, quote age, and expiry.

Authorized order transport

Defines whether Redline may use PunchOut, cXML/XML, EDI, API, portal entry, or a monitored purchasing mailbox.

Acknowledgment and change path

Captures promised date, confirmed quantity, backorder, substitution, cancellation, and late changes.

Receiving and AP exception path

Separates PO creation from receipt and invoice resolution so the purchase can be audited.

Ordering paths to support

PathUnlocksRequired proofBlocks until
Private catalog or PunchOutAccount-specific search, contract pricing, approved item lists, and quote-to-cart workflows.Customer account, catalog scope, allowed users, pricing basis, and test cart output.No live supplier comparison uses web prices as if they were customer contract prices.
EDI, XML/cXML, API, or SFTPElectronic POs, invoices, order status, and structured return documents.Credentials, mapping, test PO, return document validation, and support owner.PO submission remains draft-only or email-draft-only.
VMI, vending, or point-of-use serviceLine-side replenishment signals and supplier-managed restock programs.Bin/device exports, replenishment rules, item ownership, and exception routing.Redline treats VMI readings as evidence, not as permission to bypass approval.
Supplier portal or monitored mailboxPractical fallback for suppliers that do not expose modern integration endpoints.Authorized account, mailbox owner, message template, acknowledgment parser, and audit copy.The system can prove what was sent, received, changed, and approved.
Receiving and invoice matchClosed-loop PO lifecycle: ordered, acknowledged, received, invoiced, excepted, or paid.Receipt feed, invoice requirements, exception owner, and match status definitions.Autonomy cannot expand beyond low-risk draft recommendations.
Outcome feedbackCustomer-specific learning from accepted, edited, rejected, late, short, substituted, or expedited orders.Buyer decisions, supplier misses, realized variance, stockout notes, and correction labels.Model tuning cannot move thresholds without observable outcomes.
