Purchasing
Purchase orders draft themselves the moment an ingredient hits its reorder point or a run needs it. You approve; nobody hunts through the cash-and-carry receipts.
2 POs drafted for you: PO-2309 (Ridley Produce, £82) and PO-2310 (Aburi Nut Co, £76)
Auto-drafted for RUN-1194 (green plantain stock-out). Drafted after the AN-0842 notice so suya keeps running from clean stock. Approve and they go by email or the WhatsApp the supplier reads.
