OPERATIONS REVIEW · Workflow idea

Plan for low stock without treating a forecast as a purchase order.

For work involving current item counts, sales history, and estimated replenishment needs, confirm permission and scope before taking the next step. Prepare a dated view of inventory levels and possible reorder quantities for an authorized buyer to review. Counts and demand estimates may be stale, use different units, or miss reserved stock and supplier delays. Verify item, location, unit, lead time, and source dates; protect commercial records; label forecasts as uncertain; and require an authorized buyer to approve every adjustment and purchase.
