Compliance + integrations
POs that respect approved vendors only.
Auto-PO drafts against the approved-vendor list for the item. Vendors with expired KYC, suspended GSTIN or MSME 43B(h) breach are excluded automatically. Procurement governance is applied at the draft, not at the release.
Regulations we work within
-
Vendor master KYC validation
GSTIN status and MSME flag re-checked at draft.
-
Approved-vendor list compliance
Only approved vendors surface in the auto-PO draft.

Reorder Points & Auto-PO FAQ
What buyers ask.
How is safety stock calculated?
Safety stock = z × σ × √L, where z is the service-level z-score (default 95%), σ is the standard deviation of demand, and L is the lead time. The CFO can set the service level per item category. Items with no demand history default to a configured floor.
What if the approved vendor has a stockout?
The auto-PO falls through to the next-ranked approved vendor for the item. Where no approved vendor can fulfil, the draft surfaces for procurement override with reason capture.
Can we exclude an item from auto-PO during a phase-out?
Yes. Items can be flagged "no-auto-reorder" with an end date. The threshold alert still fires; procurement decides manually. This handles end-of-life items and seasonal lines.
