How to Connect Stock Systems to Automated Purchasing Processes

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
