Contracts

Live contract register — committed value, remaining commitment and renewal status. Contracted Total Value = Unit Cost × Quantity × Duration (falls back to the entered Annual/Total Value). Renewals sorted most-urgent first.

Catalogue items

Master item list — every item keeps its ID (ID00001…) forever. Feeds the Manual PO item picker; every price and VAT change is audit-logged. Tick items and hit Reorder to raise one PO with all of them.

Catalogue & price intelligence

Every product ordered in the last 24 months, grouped across suppliers. Latest vs best price paid, who is cheapest, and where prices have risen. Reorder pre-fills the request form with the best supplier.

Price inflation index

Basket of your top products — first purchase = 100. Above 100 means you're paying more than when you started.

Savings pipeline

Ledger value by stage in period

Budgets

Committed vs budget, live cost-centre rows

Savings ledger

Every claimed line — supplier, item and method, with the PO it came from.

Settings

Everything that controls how the system behaves — approval rules and thresholds, who approves what, budgets, suppliers documents, users and access, and the system switches. Every change here is saved instantly and recorded in the audit log. Day-to-day work (raising POs, approving, receiving) happens on the other tabs.

Approval Control Centre

Approval levels, value thresholds, routing by entity and department, escalation, permissions and per-source rules — all editable here, every change audit-logged. While the switch is OFF the live engine keeps using the legacy routing, so rules below are safe drafts you can build and test with the simulator.

Users & access

Everyone set up in the system, the role each one resolves to, and the approval slots they hold. Access Level is the person's PR grade; PR/PO routing slots are assigned in the routing table below.

Approval routing & thresholds — PR L0–L3 · PO L0–L3

Who approves at each level per format, and the value bands those levels cover (from the Category Matrix tabs for Restaurant and QSR). Pencil an approver to re-route future requests; thresholds themselves are edited on the matrix tabs.

System settings

System switches and SLA knobs. Secrets/keys are never shown. Pencil a value to change it — TEST_MODE, APPROVAL_V2 and SUPPLIER_GATING ask for confirmation.
