Check a request from StoresFlow
Read a reorder-point request from StoresFlow, its stock snapshot and why one request is kept for the item.
For operators
Sam Ashworth is signed in with only the Operator role. StoresFlow has raised a request for M8 zinc-plated bolts because bin B-12 fell below its reorder point, and later revised that same request with its newer figures.

- Read the StoresFlow request
Read the StoresFlow request.
StoresFlow raised this request when bin B-12 fell below its reorder point of 80 pieces. Its snapshot shows 70 pieces available and 40 already on order. Why this quantity shows the 150-piece need, nothing netted since that snapshot and nothing yet in drafts.
- Check there is one request for the item
Check there is one request for the item.
Requests lists one open StoresFlow request for M8-ZP. When StoresFlow's figures changed, it revised this request instead of raising a second one, so the need is counted once.
Purchasing keeps one open request for each item from StoresFlow. A later request for the same item revises it, so the need is never counted twice. Prepare the order from the queue as usual; nothing is ordered until a supervisor approves it.
