FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Draft Purchase Orders:

Will these purchase orders go to suppliers?

No. You get editable drafts for review, and your buying team sends them when ready.

How does the Agent avoid ordering the same material twice?

Your job-linked purchase orders count toward the needed quantity. You see the existing order number in the job note when it covers a shortage.

What if a product or stock location is missing?

You get a job note naming the gap. Your coordinator can fix missing product codes, suppliers, or stock locations before drafting those lines.

When does the Agent flag a possible late delivery?

You set supplier lead times and a delay rule. The job note flags materials that may arrive after the job starts so your coordinator can follow up.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
