SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Procurement teams often discover stockouts too late because low-stock items are buried in inventory reports. This Skill automates the daily reorder scan, groups alerts by preferred vendor, drafts Purchase Orders, and posts a prioritised summary to Slack so nothing falls through the cracks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Reorder Scanning: Calls proc_check_reorder_alerts to find every SKU at or below its reorder point, separating critical (at or below safety stock) from warning-tier items. - Vendor-Grouped PO Drafting: Groups alerts by preferred vendor and creates draft Purchase Orders with recommended order quantities via proc_create_purchase_order. - Slack Alert Delivery: Posts a prioritised reorder summary to the #procurement channel and archives a dated report to the gbrain procurement source. - Use Case: A procurement manager schedules the watchdog as a cron job running Monday through Friday at 8AM; each morning the team receives a Slack message listing critical SKUs, warning SKUs, and draft PO numbers per vendor. ## Quick Start Ask the procurement-manager agent to run the reorder watchdog and post today's low-stock alerts with draft POs to the #procurement channel.

Frequently Asked Questions about reorder-alert-watchdog

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate reorder alerts for low-stock inventory items?

Run the reorder watchdog workflow, which calls proc_check_reorder_alerts to find all items at or below their reorder point, groups them by preferred vendor, drafts Purchase Orders, and posts a prioritised summary to the #procurement Slack channel.

How to schedule daily stock level checks with a cron job?

Configure the {profile}-reorder-watchdog cron job to run Monday through Friday at 8AM. Each run executes the full scan, drafts POs for low-stock items, and delivers the alert summary to Slack without manual intervention.

What is the difference between critical and warning reorder alerts?

Critical alerts are items whose stock is at or below safety stock and require same-day escalation. Warning alerts are items at or below the reorder point but above safety stock, which follow the normal PO drafting flow.

What happens if an item has no preferred vendor assigned?

Items missing a preferred_vendor_id are flagged for manual PO assignment. The skill does not auto-create a Purchase Order without a vendor, preventing orders from being sent to an undefined supplier.

When should I not use the reorder alert watchdog?

Do not use it for dead or slow-moving stock analysis, which belongs to the dead-slow-stock-detector skill, or for full inventory valuation, which is handled by the weekly-inventory-valuation skill.
