ABC curve

The stock's Pareto analysis calculated on the fly: it sorts items from highest consumption (COGS) to lowest and classifies them by cumulative % — A up to 80%, B up to 95%, C the rest. A few A items concentrate most of the money; that's where negotiation, attention, and stockout control pay off the …

Start here

Para que serve a requisição
It's the formal start of every purchase: someone on the team records what they need, by when, and why. It separates the need from the decision to buy — whoever asks isn't whoever approves, and the history shows everything that was requested, fulfilled or denied.
What this screen is
Internal replenishment requests: a department asks for items, the buyer approves, gets quotes from N suppliers and turns it into a purchase order. The head of the purchasing cycle (requisition → quote request → order → NF-e receipt).

How to

Data de necessidade é prazo, não enfeite
The Need date column says when the requester needs the material in hand. It's what orders the queue of whoever handles purchasing — a requisition past its date with a stalled status is operations being blocked in silence.
Requisição automática
The Purchase Suggestion screen generates a ready-made requisition with everything below minimum stock — for routine replenishment, start there instead of typing item by item.

Rules

What happens next
The approved requisition goes on to a quote request (when it's worth competing on price) or becomes a purchase order directly. Follow it by status; the requester doesn't need to ask in the hallway.
A visão salva guarda busca, filtros, colunas e ordenação
When you save a view with the Views button, it stores four things: the search text, the applied filters, which columns appear (and in what order) and which column the list is sorted by. Applying the view restores everything at once — including resetting the sort and the page you were on, so the result is exactly what the view describes. Views saved before this version remain valid: whatever they didn't store simply doesn't change when applied.
O erro de preenchimento aparece no campo, ao sair dele
Nas fichas, sair de um campo já dispara a conferência do que dá para conferir na hora: campo obrigatório deixado em branco e e-mail mal formado. O aviso aparece embaixo do campo e desaparece quando você começa a corrigir. Campo numérico não precisa de aviso: ele simplesmente não aceita letra enquanto você digita. Isso é conforto, não a validação final: ao salvar, o sistema confere tudo de novo do lado do servidor.

Frequently asked questions

Which question this screen answers
"What are the departments asking to buy and what have I already approved for quotes?" The requisition is the head of the purchasing cycle: a department asks, the buyer approves, the approved one becomes a quote request to N suppliers and then a purchase order. The Status column separates what awaits a decision from what is already moving; the Need date says the real deadline of whoever asked — it's by that you prioritize. Justification and Requester give the context to approve or refuse without back-and-forth.
Como descobrir quem mudou um campo desta ficha?
Open the record and look at the Timeline on the right: it shows each change as "from one value to another", with the person and the date. When there are many changes, use the two filters at the top of the timeline — one by field, the other by person. The search runs in the database, so old changes show up just the same. You can also ask Tenkai: "who changed contract 482?".
