Purchasing
Enterprise execution
Bruce carries a purchasing decision from demand signal to approved purchase order, with the correct vendor, entity, quantities, terms, and audit trail.
Defined by versioned job contracts and scored on tool correctness, resulting state, controls, recovery, and completion evidence.
Execution contract
What completion means
A run is complete when the relevant signals have been evaluated, the purchase decision is documented, and a requisition or purchase order is created, approved, or escalated under current tenant policy. A recommendation without the ERP transaction is not completion.
How the job runs
Bind the purchasing state
The job begins with the records that can change the decision—not a session-wide data dump.
Operational inputs
Bruce resolves demand, on-hand and inbound inventory, open orders, vendor terms, lead times, and existing commitments at the decision checkpoint.
- • Demand and replenishment signals
- • Inventory position and open POs
- • Vendor terms, lead time, and performance
Tenant constraints
The bind also selects the legal entity, item and unit conventions, approved vendor set, spend threshold, and required approval route.
- • Legal entity and cost center
- • Item master and unit normalization
- • Approval thresholds and budget policy
Execute the transaction
The execution graph turns the purchasing intent into a controlled sequence of ERP and procurement actions.
Signal to purchase order
Bruce validates the requirement, selects an eligible vendor, calculates quantities, creates the transaction, and routes approvals without abandoning state between systems.
- • Requirement and duplicate-order checks
- • Vendor and quantity selection
- • Requisition or PO creation
Policy in the write path
Spend limits, segregation of duties, contract terms, and approval authority are executable gates. Missing or conflicting state stops the write.
- • Contract and price validation
- • Spend and authority checks
- • Approval routing before commit
Validate, recover, and close
The resulting ERP state—not the model response—determines whether the run passed.
Completion evidence
Bruce reads back the created transaction and verifies entity, vendor, lines, quantities, amounts, status, and approval record against the job specification.
- • ERP object and line-item verification
- • Approval status and audit record
- • Pass or fail against the job specification
Recovery paths
Schema rejection, stale inventory, duplicate requests, and approval denial return to defined recovery states rather than restarting the job from a prompt.
- • Idempotent retry after transient failure
- • Rebind after state or policy conflict
- • Human escalation with preserved context
