Order guides and par levels

Order guides in Vendoro are the approved list of items for each location, with par levels and default quantities. Staff count stock on a phone against par and the shortfall becomes a draft requisition. A separate right controls who may order items that are not on the guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can staff order items that are not on the guide?

Only people given that right. Everything ordered off the guide shows in the off-order-guide report.

Do guides include every supplier?

Yes. A guide can hold items from any supplier in the catalog, and the cart splits orders by supplier automatically.
