Planning repeat supply for your business

Begin recurring purchasing with consumption records and confirmed orders. Compare similar periods with changes in operating plans. The aim is a clear view of demand; one previous order is not a reliable prediction of future needs.

For each period, identify the product, quantity, packaging, destination and desired receiving window. Obtain supplier confirmation of availability and a delivery commitment. Recording a proposed schedule does not reserve stock or constitute an accepted order.

At the end of each period, compare ordered quantities, received quantities and approved changes. Use the updated record for the next enquiry. Coordination between purchasing, users and receiving teams makes follow-up easier.
