Automated creation of supplier orders based on stock rules

Purpose

1.1. Automate supplier order creation for a marble supplier business based on dynamic stock level rules to reduce manual intervention, minimize stock-outs, and streamline supply chain processes.
1.2. Automates matching inventory depletion with supplier orders, ensuring optimal inventory levels and supplier responsiveness and reducing delays in order processing.
1.3. Automating this process enables real-time or scheduled evaluation of current stock against predefined minimums, triggering automated purchase order workflows.
1.4. Automates generation, approval, and dispatch of orders directly to suppliers based on configurable logic and thresholds aligned with market demand and warehouse constraints.
1.5. Enables automated data synchronization with inventory, finance, and logistics systems to maintain operational continuity and minimize human error.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automatedly triggered when marble stock falls below customizable reorder thresholds.
2.2. Can automate on scheduled inventory audits or real-time stock level changes based on sales or material consumption.
2.3. Triggering can be automated on supplier-specific lead time, historical order performance, or predictive analytics signals.
2.4. Automation triggers may include minimum order quantity, urgent project demand flags, or inventory forecasting models.
