Questions, answered
Will it place a purchase order automatically?
No. WebRun drafts the reorder list and surfaces it for your buying team to review. No PO is created or sent until a human approves it.
How does it know my reorder thresholds?
It reads the thresholds you have already configured in VIP. You can adjust them in VIP at any time and the next morning run will pick up the new values.
What if a SKU is flagged every day because it is a high-velocity item?
The Google Sheets log tracks how often each SKU appears so you can spot items that need a permanent threshold adjustment or a supplier lead-time conversation.
