The reorder screen (/inventory/reorder) lists every product at or below its reorder point, grouped by preferred vendor with a suggested quantity and estimated cost. Draft PO turns a vendor's whole bucket into a draft purchase order in one click.
You need purchasing management access. The screen only shows products that have a reorder point set.
How does Owneli decide what needs reordering?
| Input | Where it's set | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Reorder point | On the product | The product appears here when stock is at or below this level |
| Reorder quantity | On the product | The suggested order size; if unset, the suggestion is what's needed to get back above the reorder point |
| Preferred vendor | On the product | Which bucket the product lands in, with the vendor's lead time shown |
Stock already on order counts: a product with enough inbound quantity on open purchase orders is not suggested again, so you don't double-order.
Draft a purchase order from suggestions
Open the reorder screen
From Products, open Reorder — or go straight to the low-stock view when the products list flags items below threshold.
Review each vendor's bucket
Each section shows the vendor, item count, lead time, and an estimated total. Per line: current stock against the reorder point, the suggested order quantity, and the estimated line cost.
Click Draft PO
A draft purchase order is created for that vendor with all suggested lines, and you land on it to adjust quantities, then send it — see Purchase orders and vendors.
Common questions
Why isn't a low product showing here?
Either it has no reorder point set, or its stock plus what's already inbound on an open PO puts it above the threshold.
Are the totals exact?
They're estimates from each product's recorded cost. Lines with no cost show a dash and are excluded from the estimate — the real total is settled on the purchase order.
Can it order automatically?
No. Suggestions become orders only when you click Draft PO, and even then the PO is a draft you review before sending.
