Purchasing
Orders that start from what the room will cook.
Draft, send and receive purchase orders. Suggestions come from pars, prep and what is already late. Receiving checks price drift before the crate disappears into the store.

On a busy night
How Inventory actually uses it.
01
The gap writes the draft
Par, prep, a standing order. Purchasing opens a PO that already knows the units.
02
You send it
The supplier gets a list, not a voice note. You keep the sent copy.
03
You receive what is real
Check the note. Accept the drift or fight it. Stock moves only then.
01
A draft with a reason
Below par, short for Saturday prep, or you typed it. The PO is a list with quantities, not a voice note that says “the usual”.
02
Send, then receive
Draft, sent, received. The store does not go up until someone confirms what actually arrived: units, price, and the drift.
03
The kitchen can ask without shouting
Prep flags three shortages. Purchasing already has the draft. The market run is a screen, not a fight at 10:00.
