Connecting stock systems to automated purchasing means a purchase request can check current inventory levels automatically before it's even submitted — avoiding both unnecessary orders and stockouts caused by no one checking in time. In **Jestor**, this connects structured stock tables directly to purchase request forms.

Purchasing decisions made without real-time stock visibility tend to go wrong in one of two directions: ordering something that's already sufficiently stocked, or failing to reorder until it's already run out.

## What disconnected stock and purchasing causes

- Purchase requests submitted without checking actual current stock
- Reorders happening too late, after stock has already run out
- Duplicate orders because two people didn't know the other had already requested more
- No automatic trigger when stock falls below a defined threshold

## How connected stock-to-purchasing automation works

- Purchase request forms can pull in current stock levels for the relevant item
- Automations can trigger a purchase request automatically when stock falls below a threshold
- Approved purchases update expected stock levels once they're received
- The same **alçada** approval rules apply to stock-triggered purchases as any other

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Stock and purchasing share the same connected data, not separate spreadsheets
- Threshold-based automation reduces both stockouts and duplicate orders
- Native Omie integration keeps stock movements aligned with the ERP
- Purchase approval stays consistent, whether manually requested or automatically triggered

| Stock scenario              | Automated purchasing response           |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Stock falls below threshold | Purchase request triggers automatically |
| Purchase received           | Stock levels update accordingly         |
